About

Laycock ward sits in the southern part of Islington, bordering the City of London. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Georgian terraced housing. Its streets are quiet, with several small garden squares providing green space. The ward includes a significant portion of the Angel area, which brings a concentration of shops, cafes, and services along Upper Street and Liverpool Road, creating a contrast with the quieter residential side streets.

The Regent's Canal forms part of the ward's northern boundary, with the City Road Basin and a section of the towpath offering a distinct waterside aspect. Laycock is also home to the historic Laycock Primary School and the former Angel Baptist Church. The area's proximity to the City means it has a notable population of professionals, and its transport links are central, served by the Angel Underground station.
