Islington is one of London’s central boroughs with excellent transport connections. It is within sight of the capital’s financial heart, the City of London, and only minutes away from London’s West End and theatres.

More and more people have found that Angel Islington is a great place to visit. Unlike many central areas of London, where visitors overwhelm obvious destinations, Islington’s attraction is subtler. 

To fully enjoy the cosmopolitan surroundings you have to take an active part in discovering it. Visitors can discover the spirit of the place as participants, rather than onlookers. We have  mosaic of old and new, with a lively atmosphere, diverse people and fast-changing, dynamic businesses, many locally owned and managed. In fact it’s just the kind of UK urban setting that encourages many visitors and locals to mingle and to interact.

It is home to numerous personalities, from actors, artists and craftspeople to journalists and politicians. The feel here is very much local and global.
