All of Islington borough has a 20mph limit.

I have come to the conclusion that the average motorist is physically incapable of driving at this speed
Driver behaviour is obviously the main problem, but I've also been told that car gearing isn't set up to have a convenient gear for 20mph. This may be nonsense, but as a non-driver I wouldn't have the foggiest if it's true or not.

Cycling home up Holloway Road last night I noticed 20mph signs on the road and at the side of the road. Not that anyone drives anywhere near that speed except for in the camera zones. Then I wondered, have these signs always been there, has it always been 20mph on this stretch of the Holloway Road?
