From its Saxon roots and rich 16th-century history, Islington has transformed itself into one of London's premier districts. Old melds seamlessly with new as modern boutiques line a high street that dates back to 1590. Its well-preserved Victorian and Georgian townhouses add a touch of gentility to an area that's witnessed vast changes over the centuries. Remember, Islington once supplied water to the City of London and was a major player in 19th-century public transportation with its horse-drawn omnibuses.

Navigating through Islington is a delightful experience, thanks to its well-connected transport network, including buses, the Victoria Line, and the classic London tube station at Angel. Sports fans can enjoy a match at the nearby Arsenal F.C. while literary enthusiasts can follow in the footsteps of the 19th-century intellectuals at the Islington Literary and Scientific Society. With a mix of commercial sweetness with an impressive shopping street peppered with some of London's finest eating and drinking establishments, Islington is a far cry from its past as a popular excursion destination for Londoners.
