Amid the hustle and bustle of London, history interweaves with contemporary design in Islington’s City Angel development. Over two centuries ago, in 1819, the City Road Basin was a lively hive of activity, echoing with the clatter and splash of goods being offloaded from boats that journeyed through the city’s extensive canal network. Today, after an impressive period of rejuvenation, the area stands proud as an emblem of London’s resilience, blending its rich history with the needs of the modern urbanite.

Launching its eagerly awaited second phase on 9th September, Peabody New Homes is setting the stage for homebuyers to experience the renaissance of this iconic locale. Nestled within Berkeley’s renowned 250 City Road development, City Angel is more than just a place to lay one’s head; it’s a lifestyle statement.

Boasting 100 meticulously designed studios and one-bedroom apartments, City Angel embraces the concept of shared ownership, making luxury urban living attainable. Step inside, and you’re greeted by contemporary kitchens – a gastronome’s haven – complete with premium appliances, elegant stone worktops, and sleek handleless units. These apartments are not just homes but canvases for life’s moments; be it a cozy evening with friends or setting up that perfect work-from-home corner. The bathrooms are no less impressive, adorned with large-format Porcelanosa stone tiles, pristine white fittings, and a dash of chrome luxury.

Terence O’Connor, Head of Sales and Marketing for City Angel comments: “City Angel is designed for those looking for balance in life. Boasting all the convenience of London living, City Road is in a thriving Zone 1 location just a stone’s throw from Tech City and Central London. For a breath of fresh air, City Angel forms part of Berkeley’s 250 City Road development meaning homes are part of a tranquil haven designed around 1.9 acres of green space. Providing the perfect setting for buyers looking to enjoy the best of both worlds, we expect that this next phase of homes at City Angel will prove to be incredibly popular and would urge interested buyers to register their details with us as soon as possible.”

But what truly sets City Angel apart is its unwavering commitment to harmony. Amid the city’s ceaseless hum, residents find solace in nature-infused shared spaces, from verdant parklands to quaint garden squares. The Wi-Fi-enabled podium garden, a unique urban retreat, allows many fortunate residents to soak in rejuvenating green vistas right from their abodes. And with each home crowned with private outdoor sanctuaries, morning routines are set to be transformed with a touch of sunshine and fresh air.

City Angel is not merely about residences; it’s about crafting a holistic living experience. Fitness enthusiasts can revel in the state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool, and sauna, while the residents’ lounge offers an inviting space for socialising. And come 2024, the addition of a business lounge, screening room, and a games & reading room will further elevate the living experience.

Positioned in Angel, the development is at the epicentre of London’s vibrant social tapestry. From the vintage allure of Camden Passage boutiques to the timeless charm of pubs and cafes on Upper Street, there’s no dearth of experiences. And for those who crave cultural indulgence, the historic Old Red Lion Theatre Pub, just a brisk walk away, offers a slice of London’s rich theatrical tradition.

Yet, amid this urban luxury, nature beckons. The City Road Basin on the Regent’s Canal, a mere four-minute stroll away, offers a serene escape. Meanwhile, the expansive Shoreditch Park, with its eclectic mix of sports arenas and art installations, invites residents for leisurely weekends.

Connectivity, a cornerstone of urban living, is at its zenith at City Angel. Both Angel Underground Station and Old Street Station are conveniently accessible, ensuring that London’s iconic destinations, from King’s Cross to London Bridge, are just minutes away.

City Angel is more than a residential development; it’s a testament to London’s enduring spirit. Seamlessly blending history with modern aspirations, it invites residents to partake in a legacy while crafting their own stories within its elegant walls. A haven in the heart of Islington, City Angel is indeed where the past meets the present to forge a bright future.
