Highbury is one of the most sought-after parts of Islington. Highbury Fields is the green heart, with tennis courts, a playground, and space to breathe. The housing is overwhelmingly Victorian, with wide terraces and substantial detached houses on Highbury Place and Highbury Hill. Highbury & Islington station connects the Victoria line, Overground, and national rail. The area has a calmer feel than Upper Street, with good local shops on Highbury Park. Families and long-term residents dominate.
