Upper Street, Islington
by Bill Boaden
Islington, a vibrant and highly sought-after area in North London, offers a wide variety of properties, from elegant Georgian terraces and Victorian townhouses to modern apartments and contemporary new-build developments. The older properties, particularly those near Upper Street or in the charming residential streets around Angel, may come with challenges such as the upkeep of period features, aging roof structures, or the need for updates to plumbing and electrical systems. Newer developments, especially in areas undergoing regeneration, may require checks to ensure they meet all current expectations.
Islington is well-connected with excellent transport links, including the Northern Line, Overground, and multiple bus routes, providing quick access to Central London and beyond. The area is renowned for its lively atmosphere, with a wide array of shops, restaurants, cafes, and other venues, as well as nearby green spaces like Highbury Fields and Canonbury Gardens.
