Bunhill
Islington, London
Bunhill sits in the south of Islington, running from Old Street down to the edge of the City. The name comes from 'Bone Hill' and Bunhill Fields is the historic dissenters' burial ground, where Blake, Defoe and John Wesley's mother Susanna are buried. Directly across the street stands Wesley's Chapel, opened in 1778 and designed by George Dance the Younger as the 'Mother Church of World Methodism'. The ward has 160 listed buildings including the Grade I Wesley's Chapel, the Grade I Charterhouse and the Grade I former Church of St Luke, and the entire ward sits inside a conservation area. Transport is outstanding: Old Street, Farringdon and Moorgate give the highest public-transport access in London. Around 204 food venues and 183 non-food venues reflect the density of offices and tech firms, and 27 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. The drawbacks: green space is limited to around 8.4 hectares with the Artillery Ground at 2.5 hectares the largest patch, safety scores sit below the London median, and air-quality is poor from Old Street and City Road.
