Caledonian
Islington, London
Caledonian covers the western side of Islington around Caledonian Road and the King's Cross borders, with the entire ward inside a conservation area. The listed-building set of 26 entries is led by the Grade II Stables (the old Caledonian Market stables), 34b York Way and 7 Caledonian Road, carrying the fabric of the nineteenth-century cattle-market and railway quarter. Public-transport access is very good, anchored by Caledonian Road on the Piccadilly line and close proximity to King's Cross. Forty outstanding-rated schools lie within reach, one of the deepest education footprints in this batch, and the culture and food venue counts reflect the King's Cross spillover. The drawbacks are specific. Green space is thin at 5.9 hectares with Bingfield Park the largest named site, safety scores are weak at 27 reflecting the Caledonian Road corridor's theft and assault figures, and pollution scores are very weak at 14 — among the worst in this batch.
