Islington’s
eclectic mix of bars, antique shops, theatres and music venues makes
it an intriguing place to explore – and situated so close to
the City (just 11 minutes by rail from Essex Road to Moorgate or a
10 minute cycle ride) it’s a great base for an exciting and
interesting lifestyle.
 At
the hub of this vibrant and lively neighbourhood, Upper Street is
famous throughout London for its diverse range of bars, restaurants,
clubs and live music venues. For shopping, there’s a fantastic
array of boutiques and specialist shops, including the many antiques
shops at Camden Passage stretching from the Angel up to Islington
Green. The busy N1 Centre offers quality high street stores alongside
smaller independent shops.
There’s always the chance to escape the crowds in one of Islington’s
many parks and green open spaces. Highbury Fields, the borough’s
oldest park, offers almost 30 acres of peaceful parkland, just behind
Highbury Corner. Leisure centres, swimming pools and a tennis club
provide a range of opportunities for an active lifestyle.
