Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Islington is one of the most desirable living areas in London. On your doostep you will have a very large choice of cafes, reataurants and pubs,
cinemas and the world famous Almeida Theatre and the Union Chapel famous for its world music concerts.
Plus I am located on a park which has an excellent public leisure centre with gymn, yoga classes and great swimming pool. There are also 8 tennis courts open to the public.
The public transport is probably the best in London. The 19 Bus is 2 minutes away and gets you into Picadilly in 10 minutes. The tube is 4 minutes away and is on the best line - the Victoria line. We also have the Overground trains and Kings Cross and the Eurostar are 1 tube stop away.
There are supermarkets nearby, plus a row of excellent bespoke shops with butcher, fishmongers, delicatessen etc. just 3 minutes away.
