Highbury is a residential suburb in the London Borough of Islington and is probably best known nationally as the former home of Arsenal Football Club. The club relocated about half a mile down the road in Ashburnham Grove in 2006 and the site of the old stadium has been converted in to new housing.

As part of the new stadium move many parts of the area have been and are still being re-developed, with Ashburton Gate, being adjacent to the new Stadium, leading the way as the primary landmark development.

Properties in this area are generally very sought after as the area is well served by 3 tube stations (Arsenal; Highbury and Islington; and Holloway Road) and the multiple bars, shops and restaurants of Islington. All tube stations are located in zone 2 with average commuting times to the West End of between 9 and 14 minutes.
