Hillrise

N19 3 / N19 4 / N4 3 / N4 4 / N6 5 / N8 9

The northern part of Islington, around Holloway Road and the streets leading up to Archway. More affordable than the south of the borough, with a mix of Victorian terraces and council estates. The area has some good local shops and is well served by buses and Holloway Road tube. It's less polished than Highbury or Canonbury but more authentic for it.
