Good

Moreover, the area is really vibrant. I dislike about this area that the main road is quite noisy. I am very happy with the sizes of my flat and the room layout. In terms of crime in the area it is not distinctive from other areas

Well-located complex in Highbury

Decent complex close to the station. Fairly expensive but that’s what you get for convenience. Located close to Highbury Fields so there’s some greenery to frolic in. Some decent restaurants and cafes around. It’s definitely more expensive than south of the river though.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

A little grungy near the courthouse. Some interesting characters floating around.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The hot water fails regularly and the doorbell that calls your phone is a right pain!

What is the best feature of your home:

Big doors in the bedroom and living room to let in some fresh air.
