About Islington

Islington’s desirability as a place to live lies in its location – on the northern edge of Central London with good links to the East End and City of London, residents of this borough are able to commute anywhere within the capital with ease.

Islington is a highly desirable area known for its vibrant atmosphere, rich cultural scene, and excellent connectivity. With its mix of independent boutiques, trendy cafes, and renowned theatres like the Almeida, Islington offers a dynamic urban lifestyle. The area’s charming streets, such as Upper Street, are filled with a variety of dining options and lively bars, making it perfect for socialising. Islington also has excellent transport links, including multiple tube lines and Overground services, making central London easily accessible. With its attractive housing options, great schools, and a strong sense of community, Islington is ideal for professionals, families, and those who enjoy city living with a touch of character.

The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Islington is £2,046 pcm, compared to £2,500 pcm in central London. The journey from Highbury & Islington to King’s Cross St. Pancras Underground Station takes 4 minutes
