Both fully integrated into this unique development with the added convenience of a concierge service available. You’re home at last.

This central road has been through many incarnations over the centuries, from a duck-hunting ground of King Henry VIII to a Victorian den of vice; a hotbed of activism and social change. Today its period Georgian and Victorian architecture blended with cosmopolitan eateries and boutiques gives this area an elegant, village-like feel that becomes more vibrant at night. Whether wandering the picturesque Regent’s Canal, your secret route to hipster Hackney, picnicking in verdant Highbury Fields or getting old London flavour in Chapel Market, there are always new things to discover. Hop on a bike and explore the pretty Islington backstreets. Stuccoed houses hung with wisteria, quiet garden squares with mature trees, quirky galleries and friendly pubs. 7 Immerse yourself in London’s coffee culture Food & Drink JUST A STROLL AWAY 1 2 T R S E D R 3 UPP Relax with good food and even better company A range of live music venues to choose from 4 5 6 ESSEX 7 8 11 12 9 13 14 15 10 18 16 D 17 R L L E N T ONVI P E 19 CITY R D VE A R Y Cocktail making, perfect for date nights Fine dining experiences ROSEBE 20 You may never travel to eat out again – Upper Street is foodie heaven.
