Islington is a district in Greater London and part of the London Borough of Islington, covering the N1 and EC1 postal districts. It is a primarily residential area of Inner London, stretching from Islington High Street to Highbury Fields. Originally a Middlesex village along the Great North Road, Islington saw rapid expansion in the 19th century, driven by the introduction of horse-drawn omnibuses in 1830. Well-built houses and fashionable squares attracted clerks, artisans, and professionals. However, as London developed, Islington also became a refuge for displaced communities, leading to overcrowding and urban decline by the mid-20th century.

During World War II, aerial bombing damaged much of Islington’s housing stock. Post-war redevelopment saw a boom in council housing, but from the 1960s onwards, the remaining Georgian terraces were rediscovered and restored by middle-class families, making the area highly desirable once again.

Islington is home to some of central London’s most complete collections of Georgian and early Victorian houses. However, with many families choosing to settle long-term, property for sale can be in short supply. These period properties are well-suited for loft conversions, offering the potential for additional living areas, extra bedrooms, a private study, or office space.
