An increasingly trendy neighbourhood…
We are getting more and more requests for Angel and Islington and there is a good reason for that!
Extremely well located for those working in the City, Islington is one of the most “bohemian” neighbourhoods, popular with young professionals. But not only! Families are also around, making Angel, the HQ of ‘Yummy Mums”
Featuring a rich and varied nightlife with many theatres, concert halls and jazz bars, there is always an opportunity to spend a good evening.
The famous crow’s feet between Upper Street and Essex Road is the hub of this vibrant neighbourhood filled with shops and nice vintage deco shops.
Although the proximity of a large park lacks a bit, you can enjoy some gardens such as Duncan Terrace Gardens or St Mary’s Church Gardens and especially the Regents Canal, a breath of fresh air for the locals offering a very pleasant weekend walk.
