Islington, N1

Islington is the central district of the London Borough of Islington. It is now an inner-city district in North London, but historically it was a predominantly rural area centred on houses and inns along Upper Street. The name is now also often applied to the areas of the borough close to Upper Street such as Barnsbury and Canonbury, developed in the Georgian era.

Islington constitutes two main areas. The most familiar is approximately the area bounded by Liverpool Road to the west and Essex Road to the southeast. The district's northernmost point is at Highbury and Islington station. The main high street, Upper Street, runs roughly north-south through this. However, it should be noted that the historic district of Canonbury is an exception here and should not be included. In addition, the area around Chapel Market, which once would have been considered part of Pentonville is more usually considered to be part of Islington or the Angel these days.

Less well-known but larger in area than the shopping and entertainment district round Upper Street is the area bounded by Essex Road, New North Road, the Regent's Canal, Shepherdess Walk and City Road. This part of the borough includes the period houses of the Arlington Conservation Area (centering around Arlington Square and surrounding streets) and it's here Islington meets Hoxton and De Beauvoir Town in Hackney. South of the City Road is the Finsbury district of St Luke's.

Finally adding more complexity, in modern times it has become customary to refer to a large area round Angel tube station as a district in its own right, The Angel, Islington. The northern part of this area (from the Liverpool Road junction northwards) is also in the district of Islington, while the southern half is in Finsbury.
