Hotblack Desiato - Islington

314 Upper Street Islington N1 2XQ

Hotblack Desiato have been in operation for over 40 years. Our first office was in Upper Street (N1) in Islington, and over the years, we’ve grown to accommodate the needs of our clients. After the success of our first office, we opened a second in Camden (NW1). This meant we could help homebuyers, sellers and tenants in areas like Primrose Hill, Regent’s Park, Hampstead, Euston, Kentish Town and Tufnell Park. Finally, we expanded our company to Highbury Park (N5), offering property services in Finsbury Park, Highbury, Stroud Green and Lower Holloway.

Now, we’re proud to say that we cover almost every area in Zone 2 that’s north of the river and east of Edgware Road – and our team continue to enjoy working with clients from a variety of different areas, with diverse requirements. Our company name often raises a smile, thanks to Douglas Adams using it in his cult novel, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Indeed, we take pride in providing an ‘out of this world’ estate agency experience, and have always striven not just to meet, but exceed expectations. 

Local knowledge

Living in Islington

There is always something going on in Islington, with its thriving nightlife and connections to the centre of the capital making it an ideal place to live for people of all age groups. Young professionals and families love the variety on offer, while retirees and older generations find there is more than enough to get involved locally with galleries, cinemas, theatres, cafes and restaurants in abundance.

The education standards are superb and there is a strong community spirit that can be hard to find in other parts of London. The area is steeped in history and tradition but always has an eye on the future, and even as new developments arrive, it retains a firm grip on its proud history.
