You’re right, but it’s hidden - if you can afford to live on a smart Islington street you aren’t sharing it with anyone that’s very different from yourself.

Respectfully disagree that it's hidden. But agree that generally nice streets tend to all be nice, with almost no council houses left.
Also the wealth generated by the smart bits of Islington has turned it from being pretty rough and crime ridden into a really lovely area with excellent investment into community public spaces.

Islington has the greatest disparity between haves and have nots in the UK, yet people pay serious money to live there.
