The Architecture of Islington
Islington boasts a diverse architectural landscape that seamlessly blends Georgian elegance, Victorian charm, and modern innovation. The area is renowned for its beautifully preserved Georgian terraces, particularly around Canonbury and Barnsbury, where grand townhouses with classic brick facades, sash windows, and wrought-iron railings line picturesque streets. Many of these historic homes have been tastefully restored, maintaining their period features while incorporating contemporary interiors.
