About Islington
- Islington has been associated with radical politics and progressive thought since the 17th century, when it was a centre of Puritan and Nonconformist activity. In the 19th century, the borough was home to many of the founders of the cooperative movement and the trade union movement. More recently, Islington became associated with the "New Labour" project of the 1990s, and the borough has consistently returned Labour MPs and councillors for over a century.
- The Almeida Theatre in Islington, founded in 1980 in a converted Victorian scientific institution, is one of the most respected producing theatres in London, known for its adventurous programming and its ability to attract leading directors and actors. The theatre has premiered numerous plays that have subsequently transferred to the West End and Broadway, and has won multiple Olivier Awards. Its intimate 325-seat auditorium creates an intense theatrical experience that has made it a favourite with theatre professionals.
- Upper Street in Islington has the highest concentration of restaurants per mile of any street in London, with over 100 restaurants, cafés, and bars lining the road between Angel and Highbury Corner.
