Not really. I lived at the top of Roseberry Avenue 91/92 and the whole area up to Islington Town Hall was perfectly safe. There were some restaurants and bars along Upper St, but nothing like what we have now, I agree. It was a normal London high street, with some lovely antiques shops on the opposite side. Hardly a toilet.
