Hotels in Islington, London

Islington is villagey north London with an appetite for a night out — Upper Street's ribbon of theatres, gastropubs (the gastropub was arguably invented here) and antiques hunting through the covered alley of Camden Passage. The Almeida and Sadler's Wells draw serious theatre and dance crowds, while Georgian squares and the Regent's Canal give it leafy calm. It suits travellers who want somewhere residential and lively rather than touristy, with excellent restaurants and easy Victoria-line hops to King's Cross and the West End. Angel Tube is the gateway; the further you climb Upper Street, the more local it feels.
