2 Islington Square: Quintessentially English 伊 斯 靈 頓 廣 場 經 典 的 英 國 Islington Square is a beautiful example of fine British architecture. Built in the Edwardian Baroque style during the early 1900s the development sits proudly alongside Gibson Square and Milner Square that date back to 1832 and 1839 respectively. Islington s distinctive personality and charm has made it one of the most sought after residential addresses in London. This leafy London village has matured into one of the most diverse, exciting and beautiful areas of the capital. Islington Square offers the rare chance to experience city living from within a traditional-style community with a keen eye on modern London life. A Contemporary English Square In The Heart Of Islington 3 4

3 A word from the architect 建 築 師 的 話 Reflecting the optimism of the era, The Edwardian style was from a golden age of architecture. Classical forms were used freely and flamboyantly to create the rich and beautifully crafted buildings that have come to define and shape London - typically in red brick and stone with big windows. Islington Square is a sequence of such buildings, originally designed as The North London Post & Sorting Offices. The square is largely hidden away, surrounded by the famous residential Gibson and Milner Squares. The Baroque Post Office itself fronts onto busy Upper Street, forming the gateway into a pedestrian arcade leading to the heart of the regeneration project. Whilst retaining the original building s classic features, the new additions to the existing converted structures are notably modern and suitably flamboyant. Heritage in a modern home. West elevation Within Islington Square are a selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, offices, a health club, residential and serviced apartments, plus theatre and custom built cultural spaces. With such a wide range of exclusive residents facilities, we hope to recall the grand British tradition of village-style community living firmly into the 21st century.
