Tollington
Islington, London
Tollington sits in the north of Islington between Finsbury Park and Crouch Hill, a residential ward of tight Victorian terraces stepping up the hill. The whole ward lies inside a conservation area, which protects the consistent townscape. Heritage is solid: fifteen listed buildings including the Grade II Montem Primary School, the Grade II 127 Hanley Road and the Grade II 1 and 3 Crouch Hill. Public-transport access is good via Finsbury Park and Crouch Hill Overground, and sixteen Outstanding-rated schools are within reach. The food and retail offer is strong at 179 and 139 venues, spilling from the Stroud Green Road corridor. The drawbacks are that safety scores are well below the London average, air quality is poor near the Holloway Road, green space within the ward is limited at 7.6 hectares with Wray Crescent the largest at 2.3, and market affordability is weak.
