Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Low traffic neighbourhoods

Low traffic neighbourhoods are part of our efforts to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier borough.

We introduced new people-friendly streets neighbourhoods to the borough between 2020 and 2022. These are sometimes also called low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs). By installing inexpensive measures like bollards and smart cameras, we created more space for everyone to enjoy their neighbourhoods as they walk, wheel and cycle around.

These schemes were first installed as 18-month trials. After people experienced the changes, residents were asked for their views on whether the measures should stay permanently roughly 12 months after the start of the trial. 

Residents and visitors can still access their street by motor vehicle and receive deliveries. However, it is much harder or impossible for traffic to cut through local streets from one main road to the next.

You can see maps of all our LTNs on the dedicated neighbourhood pages below or access our Google map of the LTN's and School Streets.
