About

Old Street and St Luke's sit where Old Street meets City Road in Islington. The Old Street roundabout and station mark a concentration of tech businesses often called the Silicon Roundabout. Streets radiating from the junction — Paul Street, Worship Street and Pitfield Street — contain offices, design studios and small manufacturers, alongside cafes and late-night venues. Old Street station on the Northern line and multiple bus routes on City Road shape commuter flows and daytime patterns, while cycle lanes and pedestrian crossings link the junction to nearby residential streets.

St Luke's church stands on Old Street; the building dates from the early 18th century and its churchyard opens directly onto the pavement. The neighbourhood mixes Georgian terraces, post-war housing blocks and former warehouses converted to workspaces, reflecting different phases of development. Small markets, gallery openings and occasional street stalls use side lanes and courtyards, and local wayfinding often relies on the roundabout and the church tower as fixed points within the borough.
