PoshFamily-friendly

Canonbury is quiet, expensive, and green. Canonbury Square is one of Islington's finest garden squares, and the surrounding streets of Georgian and Victorian houses are among the borough's most expensive. Canonbury Overground station provides quick links to the City and east London. The area has a settled, residential feel that's rare this close to central London. New River Walk is a hidden green corridor. It's one of those places where people tend to stay once they've moved in.
