About

Arsenal ward lies in the southern part of Islington, bordered by the Holloway Road to the north and the Regent's Canal to the south. Its residential streets are primarily composed of Victorian and Georgian terraced housing, with a mix of social housing estates. The area functions as a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood, with local commerce focused along the Blackstock Road and adjoining streets, serving the community's daily needs.

The ward is notably defined by the presence of Emirates Stadium, the home of Arsenal Football Club, which dominates the local landscape and influences the area's activity on match days. The Regent's Canal provides a green corridor for walking and cycling, passing by the stadium's southern side. Historically an industrial zone, the area retains some converted warehouses and is characterised by its practical, unpretentious atmosphere away from the main match day crowds.
