Discover Islington
Islington is a largely residential borough just north of the City, known for Georgian terraces, independent shops and a lively restaurant and theatre scene along Upper Street. Angel marks its centre, with Highbury, Holloway and Finsbury Park stretching north and Clerkenwell and Barnsbury close to the City edge. The borough also includes the Emirates Stadium area and a good number of tech, creative and professional offices. People need to be here for work in Clerkenwell and the City fringe, matches and events, study and visits to family. Islington offers a quieter base than the centre while staying close to it, which suits both short and extended stays. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Islington with one point of contact from enquiry to check in.
