Hi,

Well In my opinion you should not look for near place of Islington because Islington itself is the good place to live in. It has great shops, bars, multicultural cafes and have some great views as well. . This part of London have a nice cafe culture too. Though have you considered that if you live a little out of central London you could get a better deal for your money.I think you should register with the estate agency, they show you a list of flats and locations, you then choose a few and visit all whether it could be Islington or nearby it as well. You can read a good article at http://www.plazaestates.co.uk/propertie ... or-tenants. I hope it would help you in making right decision.

 

well I live in Islington, just outside north London and it's ok, nothing bad, worst is north west (Barnet borough) along with hackney.

 

Highbury is about as close to the City as you can get without having to live in a flat, which is why bankers and lawyers wanting an elegant house and a quick commute are still queuing up to buy.
