Svetlana was punctual, very efficient and left the flat looking sparkling and shiny. She quickly learned to use the steam mop and also adhered to our request to use it without steam in the bedrooms. She was easy to communicate with and deftly moved stuff and cleaned behind and underneath them. Would highly recommend her and hope she can do a a regular shift with us.

Rashidat made her way here on a rainy bank holiday and got right to work doing a deep clean of our house after we had moved a lot and it was in quite a dirty state. We're very grateful for her work and working around the various children and family members here to prepare for a new baby. Thanks very much Rashidat.

Islington incorporates the postcode areas N1, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N16, N19, EC1, EC2, NW5 and WC1 and is serviced by multiple tube and rail stations including Tufnell Park, Archway, Upper Holloway, Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park, Arsenal, Drayton Park, Holloway Road, Camden Road, Angel, Highbury & Islington, Canonbury, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, Essex Road, Old Street and Farringdon.

Islington is known for its Victorian and Georgian townhouses set on communal garden squares. The housing stock also includes many flats in the form of converted terraces, warehouse conversions and modern new-build apartments.
