January 2013 Site History and Context 6 Upper Street North Conservation Area - Historic Background (extract) The Upper Street North Conservation Area was first designated in 1985 and extended in 2001 to include the Almeida Post Office site. Together with the Angel Conservation Area it covers the entire length of Upper Street, Islington’s historic main thoroughfare. The slightly winding street, wealth of old buildings and stepped pavements create a unique and special environment for residents, businesses and visitors. The general grain of the area comprises individual shops and buildings with narrow plot widths, mainly three or four storeys, punctuated by several local landmarks including the Town Hall, Union Chapel and spire of St. Mary’s Church. Upper Street North Conservation Area (Not to scale) No. 133 Upper Street . London . N1 1QP . January 2013 Site History and Context 7 Upper Street Upper Street runs North from Islington High Street to Highbury Corner and is considered a focus for Islington’s day time and evening economy, which includes theatres, bars and restaurants. Appearance and Character Appraisal of Surrounding Buildings The architecture of the surrounding buildings includes a wide variety of architectural styles with distinctive detailing. Many properties along the street still retain original architectural features both externally and internally. Most historic shopfonts survive which contribute to the character and appearance of the street. The roofline is also a major component in the character of the area. Although there is a variety of roof forms, the most common is the hidden roof behind a parapet. The existing character and appearance along Upper Street is created by the survival of 17th to early 20th Century buildings. These were built using materials suited to labour-intensive View South toward St. Mary’s Church - Upper Street methods of construction - brick, render, stone, timber for windows and doors and slate or tile roofing. Existing buildings in the area are 3-4 storeys high, predominantly retail and related uses, with residential on upper floors. The rear elevation of Upper Street buildings have a varied collage of back extensions. View North toward St. Mary’s Church - Upper Street (Google Street View) No. 133 Upper Street . London . N1 1QP .

  • Travel 8 London City Guide 8 ISLINGTON and the NORTH
    Travel 8 London, the North, Islington Travel 8 leads to the north of London where farmers, workers, soldiers and ordinary people lived. Tourist usually are interested in monuments, but… monuments don’t say anything about ordinary people. Monuments are similar everywhere, a copy of each other indeed, because they are the wish of the power. Power been the same everywhere in this world. There are no monuments dedicated to ordinary people. Heredity of ordinary people was cancelled on the course of the years. Then, how to find out about life of ordinary people. The only way is to visit the remains, if they can be found. With the industrialisation, 1850 on, people moved from the north of UK to find a job in London. They settled where the trains stopped, in Islington, or in the north and east of London. Travel 8 will lead you to these places, where workers and industries were. Travel London 8, ISLINGTON and the NORTH Visiting the north of London is possible to imagine how London was at the time of the 1850’s first industrialisation. Here are beautiful places, with many, many interesting things to discover. Travel 8 starts in Islington, where you reach it with the Tube at Angel Underground Station. Outside the station turn on the right, towards Islington Town. Here you find the monument to Hugh Myddelton, the man that in 1613 had the idea to create an aqueduct for selling fresh water to Londoners. Water came only from the North, (this was the reason why the Romains founded London on the north shore of the Thames).

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
