About

Bunhill ward sits in the southern part of the London Borough of Islington. It is primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraced housing, alongside modern apartment developments. The ward is bordered by the City of London to the south, placing it close to the financial district.

The area is historically significant for Bunhill Fields, a former burial ground dating to the 17th century.
