REBOOT YOURSELF
In the beating heart of Zone 1, City Road is a buzzing superhighway connecting leafy, lively Islington with the tech start-ups of Old Street. Just off it, tucked away in a sanctuary of calm, you’ll discover The City Angel.
Cancel the commute, wave goodbye to the suburbs, this is how urban living was meant to be. You’re freed up, ready for a reboot, ready to enjoy all that London has to offer.
And there’s so much on your doorstep. Islington, the City, Clerkenwell, the East End. Five minutes from Angel and Old Street tubes. And Shoreditch, that hive of hipster life, is just a stroll away.
Be part of something amazing. The City Angel is part of Berkeley Homes’ landmark new development 250 City Road. A thriving new quarter designed by Foster + Partners with green spaces, shiny new shops and stunning residences. A dream? Buying through Shared Ownership at City Angel gives you a unique chance to make this a reality.
A place to recharge, a place to call home.

WHO KNEW?
6 7 8 9 10 11 LOVE THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD
You love eating out, and you’ve got everything right here. Fine dining and street food, favourite chains and quirky independents. Artisan coffee, Cockney cafés, cosy pubs and cocktail clubs. Hunt down the hottest pop-ups, or get to love a neighbourhood gem.
It’s all possible. Date nights, mate nights, great nights.
On City Road, Jamie Oliver’s original restaurant Fifteen jostles with retro classic the Shepherdess, while the Bower brings hot Soho names to Silicon Roundabout – Ceviche, Bone Daddies, Honest Burger.
A wander in the other direction, Islington’s Upper Street is an A-Z of eateries. From fast-casual – Franco Manca, Wahaca, Five Guys – to chic moderns Oldroyd and Elk in the Woods. Make a pilgrimage to Ottolenghi.
And nestled in backstreets or canalside, the finest gastropubs: Duke of Cambridge, Smokehouse, the Island Queen. Just west, historic Exmouth Market hosts superior Spanish-fusion Moro, earthy Italian at Paesan, avocado on sourdough at Caravan, friendly bars.
Did someone say Shoreditch? Start your night with a Vietnamese on Kingsland Road. Or perhaps a tasting menu at cutting-edge Clove Club, a relaxed dinner date at 8 Hoxton Square, Korean wings at On The Bab, burgers at Meat Mission, bagels on Brick Lane.
Afterwards speakeasies Nightjar and Looking Glass for cocktails. Rooftop lounging at the Boundary, craft ales from Brewdog, alt-drag at the Glory. Dance all night or just stay for one. No filters needed.

BETTER MEMORIES
Upload a better lifestyle with so much within walking distance. Or cycling.
Picturesque Regent’s Canal lets you traverse the capital in secret – west to Camden, east to Hackney. Hipster hangout Broadway Market in 15 minutes, verdant Victoria Park in 20. City Road basin is your local aquatic playground.
Commandeer a kayak, paddle your own canoe, set sail. Who knew Fitness fanatics have it licked: Ironmonger Row pool and traditional thermal spa round the corner. Gymbox and dance boutique Frame, boot camps and proper boxing. Start the day with a Morning Gloryville rave, end it with a GoodGym run.
Learn to love local as the area has you served for shopping. Islington for high-street fashion and upscale boutiques like Sefton. Shoreditch for menswear stores Oliver Spencer, Sunspel, J Crew and APC. Fine fragrance at La Labo, products from Aesop, luxe lifestyle from Goodhood or SCP. The ever-evolving pop-ups of Boxpark.
On to Brick Lane and Spitalfields for vintage style and heritage brands. Anthropologie, Mac, Jo Malone. And don’t miss Columbia Road flower market on a Sunday – waft home laden with fresh blooms.
A screening, a private view, a first night. Some of London’s iconic cultural venues are here: Sadler’s Wells for dance, the Barbican for concerts, art and film, the Almeida for groundbreaking drama, Union Chapel for intimate gigs. Top contemporary gallery Victoria Miro is round the corner, while the Whitechapel mounts world-class shows. Want to catch a film? From Vue to independent Rich Mix and luxury Screen on the Green, this is cinema central.
Gourmet popcorn optional.
18 19 CITY SANCTUARY
A place to recharge your batteries and back up the day. At last, no flatmates! Quiet nights in and cosy afternoons on the sofa. Room to entertain, room to relax, unwind or simply sleep.
Each one of the 70 studios and one-bed apartments is designed to maximise space and light. Contemporary yet comfortable, open plan but with ample storage, interiors are geared towards convenient modern living. Fully integrated kitchens and bathrooms give a whisper of sleek luxe. It’s a treat to come home every evening – and it’s yours to put your stamp on. All flats feature balconies to bring the outside in; some have wraparound terraces. What’s not to love?
Foster + Partners have conceived 250 City Road as a wholly new quarter integrated with its surroundings, as well as a destination in itself with lively cafés and restaurants. As a resident you’ll have full access to the shared outdoor spaces beyond: tree-lined parkland, intimate garden squares, soft water features, wildflower beds. All with wifi so you can check emails alfresco. All designed to entice you away from the street and savour the serene green beyond.
You’ve come home to nest.
