Regent's Canal tunnel
The canal disappears into a tunnel under Islington and comes out to the east near City Road Basin. On the map it shows up as a broken blue line.

The map
About this Islington map poster
Islington runs north from the edge of the City of London towards Highbury and Archway. It is one of the densest boroughs in the country, and the map shows it. Terraced streets fill almost every gap. Upper Street and Essex Road split north from the Angel junction, forming two main spines that the rest of the neighbourhood hangs off.
The Georgian and early Victorian building boom left behind a series of formal garden squares. In Barnsbury, Canonbury and around Highbury, these appear on an Islington map poster as small, crisp rectangles and ovals set into the terraces. Highbury Fields offers the largest stretch of open grass, a triangle of green at the north end of the high street.
Water crosses the borough in two ways. The Regent's Canal passes underneath through the Islington Tunnel and comes out near City Road Basin. The New River, a seventeenth-century channel built to bring drinking water to London, survives as a thin walkway. Further north, the Emirates Stadium, home to Arsenal, adds a large oval to the tightly packed streets.

Garden squares
Georgian and Victorian squares in Barnsbury, Canonbury and elsewhere form neat geometric greens surrounded by terraced houses on every side.
Emirates Stadium
Arsenal's home ground is a large oval near Holloway. It is the biggest single shape in an otherwise dense grain of small streets.

Why Islington
A map that means something
Islington is often the place people remember from their first London flat, a long tenancy or the walk to a match. A map of those streets carries that memory, whether it hangs in the next flat or somewhere far from London.
Add your own title, perhaps a street name, a subtitle and a coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Get HD files for $9 in six sizes including A3 and A2, or order a printed poster with an optional frame.
