LIVING IN ANGEL
NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDES
Angel has always had a bit of a glow to it, central, but not hectic; stylish, but not trying too hard. It’s a crossroads of sorts: where creatives, professionals, and long-time locals all share pavements and pub benches. The canal adds a slow, scenic layer to things, while Chapel Market keeps it real with a no-fuss energy. There’s always something going on — an exhibition, a gig, a new opening — but it still manages to feel neighbourly.
“That one legendary pub where the sticky floors tell a thousand stories, it’s Islington’s beating heart – unpolished, unstoppable, and always open for business”
Angel isn’t just a name; it’s a mood.
Angel is one of those rare places where everything feels walkable. But should you need to go further, the Northern Line at Angel station gets you to the West End in a flash. Buses are frequent and reliable, and King’s Cross is just down the road. It’s central London with a neighbourly feel, and movement built in.
In the Angel area, families have access to various educational institutions. St. John Evangelist RC Primary School caters to younger students, emphasising foundational education.
