Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked down a quiet residential street, this Islington apartment is a solid base for anyone who wants a calm retreat without sacrificing access to the city. Angel Underground station is a seven-minute walk away, putting the Northern line – and central London – well within reach, while Upper Street's restaurants and independent boutiques are around six minutes on foot. Back home, a private balcony with outdoor furniture earns its keep for a slow morning coffee or an evening drink, and Regent's Canal's towpath is just five minutes away when you feel like stretching your legs.

About Angel
Angel is a highly sought-after part of London, and for good reason. It's packed with trendy bars and restaurants lining Upper Street — the main road running from Angel through to Highbury and Islington — and an array of independent shops lining its side streets. A commuter's dream, Angel not only borders the north of London, but is also within walking distance of East London's Shoreditch, and borders King’s Cross...
