The Screen on the Green, which is a single screen cinema that faces Islington Green, is situated on Upper Street and is a big attraction!

Highbury Fields is a beautiful tree-lined local space which is often used for sports - there are tennis courts in one section - and picnics when the weather allows for one!

Art enthusiasts live next to other creative types, as well as those in banking/ investment banking and young families who move here for the overall package that Islington offers.
