Islington continues to demonstrate resilience across both its sales and lettings markets, supported by sustained demand for well-located homes and limited supply of period stock.
Average property prices in Islington rose by 3.0% over the past 12 months and have increased by 9.3% over the last five years, according to Knight Frank data. Demand remains particularly strong for Georgian and Victorian homes in Barnsbury and Canonbury, alongside high-quality apartments close to Angel and along Regent’s Canal.
In the lettings market, rents have remained broadly stable in the past year following a period of significant growth. Average rents have adjusted by -2.2% over the last 12 months but are still up 50.4% over the past five years, underlining the strength of long-term tenant demand.
This combination of steady sales performance and resilient rental demand reflects Islington’s enduring appeal, particularly among professionals seeking proximity to the City, strong transport links and a vibrant local lifestyle.
Where to live in Islington
Islington is characterised by a collection of distinct neighbourhoods, each offering its own atmosphere and architectural identity. Barnsbury is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious addresses in North London, centred around elegant garden squares such as Barnsbury Square and Gibson Square, where Georgian townhouses command strong demand. Canonbury offers a similarly refined setting, with tree-lined streets and substantial period homes that appeal to families and long-term residents.
Highbury provides a slightly more relaxed environment, known for its mix of Victorian villas and proximity to green space, particularly around Highbury Fields. Around Angel and Upper Street, the pace shifts, with a vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants and cultural venues attracting buyers seeking a more dynamic, urban lifestyle.
To the east, De Beauvoir offers a village-like feel within easy reach of the City, while areas bordering King’s Cross have benefited from significant regeneration, introducing contemporary developments alongside established housing stock. Together, these neighbourhoods underpin Islington’s reputation as one of London’s most desirable boroughs. For further insight, see Where to live next in London Islington.
Islington area guide
Islington’s identity is shaped by places that feel long established rather than recently put together, from the independent stretch of Upper Street to the atmospheric Camden Passage antiques market. Venues such as Almeida Theatre, King’s Head Theatre Pub, Sadler’s Wells and Union Chapel give the borough unusual cultural depth for a largely residential part of London, while restaurants, cafés and local shops make it easy to see why so many buyers and tenants stay for the long term.
The area is also particularly attractive to families, thanks to its strong selection of schools. Well-regarded options include City of London Academy Islington, St Mary’s CofE Primary School and William Tyndale Primary School, together with a number of highly rated independent and preparatory schools.
Connectivity remains one of Islington’s strongest practical advantages. Angel, Highbury & Islington and King’s Cross stations provide access across London and beyond, with direct links to the City, the West End and international rail services via St Pancras. Together with green spaces such as Highbury Fields and the towpaths of Regent’s Canal, these links help explain Islington’s enduring appeal to buyers and tenants seeking a well-connected London lifestyle.
