Newington Green
Newington Green is a residential suburb which spans the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington. The green itself, after spending many years as a glorified traffic island, was renovated in 2005 to include more greens, a new play area and café.
Newington Green has undergone partial gentrification in recent years as the middle class overspill from Highbury and Islington has moved in. This is reflected by the increase in trendy shops, restaurants and coffee bars in the shopping area. The majority of the housing stock in the area is Victorian although as with any area that is “on the up” sites which have been left empty for years are now rapidly being developed to take advantage of rising property prices. Although there are several bus routes that pass by the green the closest Tube Station is just under half a mile away. Highbury & Islington is on the Victoria Line (zone 2) with a travelling time to central London of around 15 minutes.
