I mainly still use the bus. I just find the Overground crowded and often means I need an interchange

I wish i had tried to buy a place before all the regeneration started.

Transport

I'm so close to the Overground which has helped the area a lot in terms of outside money coming in. But to be honest, I mainly still use the bus. I just find the Overground crowded and often means I need an interchange. I just prefer to sit on the one bus into the city which is where i work.

Community

I've seen a lot of development here which is not always a good thing in my view. The area isn't as edgy as it once was and the cost of housing has gone up so much because of it. Buying here for me doesn't look like a possibility. Such a shame as i've grown up in the area.

Amenities

I live near the Scolt Head on purpose - it's always been one of my favourite pubs in London. Food is excellent, good atmosphere and outside area. For everyday stuff, I head to Dalston where there are loads of shops now. It's not quite as different as it used to be in comparison to other parts of London, but there's still plenty of independent shops and cafes.

One of the best places to live in London

I just love how central Islington is to everything. Not only is my immediate area lovely and fun, but it's close to literally everything. 15 mins by bus to Stoke Newington, 30 min walk to Dalston, 30 mins by bus to London Bridge and Soho, etc. It's definitely up market and trendy, I can see N1 as a great place to raise children and have pets if you can afford it. I've personally never felt unsafe, although there was a stabbing incident last year right outside my flat building. Highly recommend it here! I'm moving to Dalston soon, but I know I'll be back very often. :)

Transport

N1 is definitely convenient and well-connected being on the Northern line. Getting anywhere in central London, especially King's Cross St. Pancras is easy and quick. The buses are amazing as well, I can easily take a number of buses to the City, London Bridge, Soho, Stoke Newington and more! The traffic isn't fantastic as you may have guessed, as it's so central, but it's to be expected in any big busy city. I don't cycle personally, but I've heard many friends say they wished there were more cycle paths. Old Street is part of the night tube service, but hasn't been open during the night for at least a year or 2 now.

Community

There's a good mix of who lives on my street - ranges from families, to those living in estates, students, couples. It's part of why I love it here so much! Diversity and mixing is good. I come from the US where neighbourhoods can be so homogenous, and I don't think it benefits anyone. I live on a quiet street, never had any issues with bin collections, no anti-social behaviour that I've personally witnessed. Parking is difficult, but doesn't concern me as I don't drive and don't think there's really a need to.

Amenities

Living here definitely means access to some of the best restaurants and bars that London has to offer! You can find high quality butchers, famous eateries like Ottolenghi, and trendy boutiques right outside your doorstep. Upper Street and Angel are always vibrant and brimming with life. Diverse Shoreditch and Dalston are just a stone throw away as well. Highbury Fields is lovely to take walks in and picnic in, but admittedly I think you can find more green open spaces in many other parts of London.

It doesn’t get any better!

My street is good, no tomuch pet,there's many shops that someone can rush and buy something,the weather is too cold in my street, and there's not young youth activities . Dislike: what I dislike is that my street is very scary and is not a busy place that someone can go out and come back anytime.

Transport

From my house to bus stop is 5 to 8 walk,and buses normally come out early, And you can come out at the bus stop and get the bus you want.

Community

There's no traffic in street the bin is always neat,and good social behaviour,I don't really know people who lives in my street but I think is mix up with,students,owner and renter.

Amenities

The rang of shops in my area is 85% But the only shop that movies is caff shop that is in my Estate.many people buy some breakfast, lunch from them.
