ISLINGTON, London
Favoured location of London's hip and trendy
set, Islington took its time to transform from 1960's run
down borough to icon of New Labour hipness and sought after
location for City and West End workers. Nowadays, Islington
is immediately associated with the super-hip Upper Street
with its trendy bars and restaurants and the wealth of fine
Georgian and Victorian houses available. Many areas have succumbed
to the nouveaux riche set, but not all of Islington is smart
and glamorous.
As well as the obligatory quota of trendy bars and restaurants,
there is the Screen on the Green cinema, a number of fringe
theatres - including the Almedia and the famous Little Angel
Marionette Theatre. Thus Islington stands as a quite self-sufficient
village in its own right with a full compliment of "useful"
shops such as hardware stores, fishmongers and grocers, augmenting
boutiques and Camden Passage Antiques Market.
There is, however, a comparative lack of
schools.
Clerkenwell to the south of the borough
epitomises London's modern trend for warehouse living whilst
further north the council blocks of Finsbury and the boarders
with King's Cross serves to remind that not all the borough
is affluent. Barnsbury, Canonbury and Highbury lie to the
north of Islington and boast many elegant squares and terraces.
Archway offers roads of densely packed Victorian terraces
whilst Tufnell Park to the west has become a hot spot for
those forced out by Islington's high prices.
