The first in the 'Past' series and 12 years since publication Islington has seen far-reaching changes. Now known for its restaurants, theatre and high house prices, it still has some of the poorest areas in London, outside the popular areas and the beautiful squares; with contrasts ranging from the charms of Canonbury to the traffic-busy Holloway Road. Gradually, industry is departing and its old factories turned into apartments. Even Arsenal is on the move, but still to be in Islington. Completely revised, this new edition includes a fresh selection of illustrations.
