Islington, Greater London
Overview
Islington is a district in Greater London, England, and part of the London Borough of Islington. It is a mainly residential district of Inner London, extending from Islington's High Street to Highbury Fields, encompassing the area around the busy High Street, Upper Street, Essex Road (former ``Lower Street``), and Southgate Road to the east.From a small medieval manor, to lawless brothel district, to today's confused and confusing uber-gentrified conglomeration, Islington has seen and heard it all.You'll find all kinds of architectural delights in the borough of Islington, from beautiful curving Georgian terraces, to 1930s art deco ex-cinemas and modern student accommodation. But three unassuming Islington homes have the honour of being Grade I listed by Historic England: 52 to 55 Newington Green are London's oldest brick terraced houses, predating the Great Fire of London, built in 1658.
