Islington
Georgian squares, quiet canal towpaths and independent neighbourhood streets.
Calm residential squares and historic brickwork balanced with lively local dining and waterside paths.
Islington combines the architectural discipline of late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century terraces with the relaxed pace of a walkable neighbourhood. Just a few turns away from the main thoroughfares, streets open onto planted squares where plane trees filter the afternoon light.
Homes here typically range from tall, flat-fronted Georgian townhouses with long rear gardens to high-ceilinged lateral apartments and converted waterside buildings near the canal basin. Buyers and tenants are often drawn by the balance of generous sash windows and immediate access to everyday independent shops.
Along the towpath, morning walkers and cyclists pass narrowboats and waterside cafés, creating a quiet corridor that links the residential pockets of the borough.
