About

The Angel occupies a crossroads in the London Borough of Islington where Islington High Street meets City Road and Pentonville Road. The area is organised along Upper Street and the High Street, with a mix of retail, offices, theatres and housing set back from the main thoroughfares. Street-level activity centers on shops, cafes and pubs, while side streets contain Victorian and later terraces and small commercial yards. Transport links include Angel Underground station on the Northern line and a network of buses that connect the area to central and north London.

Its name comes from the Angel Inn, a coaching inn that stood at the junction and gave the district its identity. Angel station is notable for having one of the longest escalators on the London Underground, linking the surface to the deep-level platforms. Local life combines daytime trade and evening leisure, with independent shops and long-established businesses operating alongside newer office and residential conversions. The street pattern and surviving coaching-era buildings reflect the area’s role as a route into the city.
