Whether you’re after a smart Zone 1 studio or something bigger for family life in Holloway, there’s a lot happening here right now with Shared Ownership and new build homes.
Searching for a new-build home in Islington?
Islington has got a bit of everything. On one side you’ve got Angel with its bars, restaurants and nightlife. On the other side you can wander down Camden Passage or stroll by Regent’s Canal when you want things quieter. It feels central, but also has a community feel.
It’s a big hit with professionals, creatives, and first-time buyers because the connections are so good. Angel, Old Street and Caledonian Road stations are close, so you can be at King’s Cross, the City, or Canary Wharf quickly.

Stay connected with new homes in Islington
Transport is one of the big selling points here. Angel, Old Street, Farringdon, and Caledonian Road stations mean you’ve got lots of options, whether you’re heading to work or out in the evening.
- London Bridge – around 10 minutes
- King’s Cross – 1 stop from Caledonian Road
- Canary Wharf – 20 minutes on the Tube
- West End – less than 15 minutes
At weekends you can walk to Camden Town, Shoreditch or Regent’s Canal, which makes it hard to run out of things to do.
Affordable living in Islington
Islington isn’t always thought of as affordable, but Shared Ownership changes that. Smaller deposits, lower monthly payments, and the option to buy more shares later makes it a lot easier to buy here than on the open market.
At City Angel for example, it’s possible to own a studio apartment from £1,435 a month – which can be cheaper than renting locally. And you also get access to the pool, gym and sauna, which isn’t bad at all.
Make Islington Your Home
From compact studio flats at City Angel to family-friendly apartments in Holloway Park, these new build homes open up the chance to buy in one of London’s most exciting boroughs.

"Discovering Shared Ownership was honestly life-changing. I never even considered buying in London before - it just didn’t seem feasible with how expensive it is. After learning that Peabody is one of the largest housing associations that provide Shared Ownership in the UK and reading numerous positive reviews, I felt confident moving forward with them. The Peabody team is brilliant. They were so communicative and accommodating."
