LIVING IN HIGHBURY
NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDES
Highbury is calm, considered, and quietly self-assured. Tucked behind the buzz of Upper Street and not far from the action of the Emirates, it somehow maintains a peaceful, almost residential rhythm that’s hard to come by this close to the city. Georgian terraces, generous green spaces, and wide, tree-lined streets give the area a sense of space and stillness. But don’t mistake calm for dull, Highbury is full of life in a gentle, grown-up way.
“Leafy squares and the hum of cosmopolitan life in London’s inner suburbs”
The local cafés know your order, the delis are well-stocked with the tastiest treats, and the pace just feels… right.
Highbury hits that sweet spot — leafy, peaceful, but incredibly well-connected. Highbury & Islington station is your launchpad, with the Victoria Line, Overground and National Rail all in one place. You can be in Oxford Circus in under 10 minutes, or cruising east on the Overground with ease. And with plenty of buses running down Highbury Corner and Upper Street, you’re never short of options.
Highbury is home to a range of schools that cater to its diverse community. Highbury Fields School is a secondary school known for its academic programmes.
