The Angel, Islington

The Angel, Islington, is a historic landmark located at the intersection of Islington High Street and Pentonville Road in London. Originally part of the Clerkenwell Priory, the site has been home to various buildings since the 16th century, including the Angel Inn, which became a popular stop for travelers by 1614. The current structure, completed in 1903, was initially known as the Angel Hotel and has undergone several transformations, including serving as a restaurant and later as offices. The area is notable for its connection to the Angel tube station, opened in 1901, and its rich history, which includes associations with famous figures like Thomas Paine. Today, the Angel is a grade II listed building, reflecting its architectural and historical significance.
