Six Islington Squares

Enjoy an afternoon looking at the domestic architecture of 19th century Islington. During the 19th Century the farmland of Barnsbury gave way to a succession of building schemes that created some of the worlds first suburbs. This two hour walk looks at some of the elegant squares created and looks at the people who lived in them.
