Much of the area including Barnsbury, Canonbury and De Beauvoir Town was developed in the Georgian and Victorian eras and retains many of the original architectural features of those times.

The grand residential homes, courtyards and squares across the district have established Islington as a premier address in London. Islington benefits from some spectacular parks and city gardens.
