3 things you never knew you need to know about Islington…
- Ever played Monopoly? Angel, near to City, university of London, is the only place in this board game that you can buy, all the others are on ‘sale’ are streets.
- It’s the home and constituency of Jeremy Corbyn, MP, leader of the opposition (Labour Party). You may see him cycle past.
- Islington is a fabulous place to visit, but it’s where the super rich and the very poor live side by side. There’s a huge amount of inequality in the borough, overcrowded homes and real poverty. In 2017 it was outed as the worst place for a woman to live – partly because the average price of a home is eye-watering. In 2017 the average price of a flat was just under £600,000 and a terraced house sold for an average price of £1,334,500. More info from local charity Islington Giving
