Islington

Islington runs from Angel up through Georgian squares and Victorian terraces to Highbury Fields — one of London's most complete inner-borough villages. Upper Street supplies the restaurants and theatres; the squares (Arlington, Gibson, Milner) supply the calm. Renters are City and tech professionals who want a sub-thirty-minute commute and something prettier than a tower; buyers compete for period houses that rarely trade. The rental market is fast and undersupplied: well-presented two-beds near Angel typically let within two weeks of listing. Landlords accept modest gross yields in exchange for near-zero voids and reliable covenant quality.
