Islington N1 is the beating heart of trendy North London, home to affluent young professionals, creative industries workers, and established families attracted to its excellent dining scene, beautiful Georgian squares, and superb transport links. Upper Street forms the vibrant spine with its restaurants, theatres, and independent shops, while leafy residential streets offer elegant period conversions and Victorian terraces. The area perfectly balances urban energy with residential charm, though this desirability comes at a premium price.
