Highbury centres on the green expanse of Highbury Fields, with Georgian terraces on Highbury Place and Highbury Crescent, the village shops at Highbury Barn and flats at Highbury Square on the site of Arsenal's old ground. Highbury & Islington station is one of north London's busiest hubs.
We collect from any address in N5. Highbury Corner is a busy roundabout, so for nearby addresses the driver may wait on a side street.
We also cover nearby Islington, Canonbury, Holloway, Finsbury Park, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Barnsbury and Dalston.
