Islington Council

Islington, like many London boroughs, has a diverse range of housing and accommodation. Our aim is to ensure that all residents have the opportunity to live in good quality, affordable homes in safe, sustainable communities.

Within the borough, the council is the largest single landlord with 23,000 tenancies and 9,000 leaseholders. There are also 43,500 privately-owned homes and around 11,000 housing association homes in the borough. Most aspects of council housing now fall under Homes for Islington, an arms-length management organisation.
