Islington is just under six square miles and is one of the smallest of the thirteen inner London boroughs. It is situated on the north side of the Thames, surrounded by Stoke Newington, Camden, Hackney, Haringey and the City. In the Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 1000 it is referred to as ‘Gislandune’ and later in the Domesday Book as ‘Isendone’ and ‘Iseldone’, which probably means the lower town or fort.
