Essex Road, Islington
Along this stretch of Essex Road, close to the junction with New North Road, a row of shops is separated from the main carriageway by a service road; one of the shops is tempting passers-by with some mouth-watering treats.

Essex Road, Islington
Seen from the Canonbury Road/New North Road junction, Essex Road is ablaze with the colour of flowers. Sadly, despite the borough winning the London in Bloom award for 2009, the council has indicated that it will no longer fund hanging baskets from next year, saving £37,000 per annum.

Greenman Street, Islington
The building seen here, on the south side of Greenman Street, is part of the Peabody Trust's Islington Estate. Peabody housing was the idea of American philanthropist George Peabody who moved to London and set about tackling the poverty he saw there. This block dates from 1865, making it one of the earliest examples; the characteristic architecture may seem rather severe to modern eyes, but this was a vast improvement on the slum accommodation that was occupied by many Victorian Londoners. Today, the Peabody Trust is a charitable institution housing about 50,000 people with estates - of varying vintages - across London.
