About

Barnsbury East sits within Islington’s Barnsbury Conservation Area and is primarily residential. The streets are formed of mid-19th-century terraces, many with basements and original iron railings, and several small garden squares such as Barnsbury Square, Arlington Square and Cloudesley Square. Conservation designations have kept the original street layout and building proportions, so terraces tend to run continuously between the squares, with short mews and service lanes tucked behind the main fronts.

Everyday life revolves around narrow parades of shops, a handful of cafes and community facilities on the local streets, plus play spaces and small allotments managed by local groups. The survival of long stretches of original railings and sunken front basements around the squares gives the area a consistent streetscape and is often remarked on by people walking those routes. Housing ranges from single-family houses to converted flats, and the mix of civic gardens, community-run plots and small commercial premises shapes how the neighbourhood is used day to day.
