Islington is located in central London and is well-connected to the rest of the city. It is a short distance from the West End, the City of London, and other popular areas. It has a number of parks and green spaces, including Highbury Fields, Clissold Park, and Gillespie Park. These provide opportunities for outdoor recreation and relaxation.

One lesser-known fact about Islington is that it was once a hub for the British film industry. In the early 20th century, several major film studios were based in the area, including the Gainsborough Pictures studio in Poole Street, which produced many popular films in the 1920s and 1930s. In fact, Alfred Hitchcock's first feature film, "The Pleasure Garden," was produced by Gainsborough Pictures in 1925. Although the film studios have long since closed, the area still retains some of its film heritage and is home to a number of cinemas and film festivals.
