Highbury

Highbury sits within the London Borough of Islington, centred around Highbury Fields, the borough's largest open green space. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Georgian terraced houses and mansion blocks lining its streets. Its commercial activity is focused along Upper Street and Blackstock Road, providing local amenities and dining options. The area is well-connected by public transport, including the London Overground at Highbury & Islington station.

The district is notably defined by the former Arsenal Stadium at Highbury, whose iconic Art Deco East Stand and converted apartment complexes remain a local landmark. Educational institutions, including several schools and City and Islington College, contribute to the community. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of private housing and social accommodation, creating a settled urban neighbourhood distinct from the busier centres of Islington or Holloway.
