First up we have Lonsdale Square in the Islington district of Barnsbury.

Lonsdale Square is a charming garden square, located in an area that is highly sought after due to its beauty and fantastic location just off Liverpool Road. The square boasts a unique architectural style among London's squares with its unusual Tudor Gothic Revival terraced houses featuring picturesque gables and Elizabethan-style windows. Adding to its charm, all the houses are listed buildings. The central public garden is adorned with beautiful flower beds and trees. These terraced houses are thus highly sought after by property buyers. Many of these properties have been carefully restored, with nice stucco detailing, and modernized to provide contemporary living spaces while retaining their historic charm.
Adding to the demand for these properties is its prime location in Islington. When you live on Lonsdale Square you are a short walk away from Liverpool Road and Barnsbury Park, which offers great activities for children - such as the Barnard Adventure Playground. You also live very close to Islington's Upper Street which has a vibrant cultural scene, with a wide range of theaters, galleries, and music venues, as well as many trendy restaurants and bars.

In terms of the property market, Lonsdale Square has seen a steady level of activity over the past few decades. Since 1995, there have been 32 property transactions on the square, reflecting the high demand for properties in the area. Since the 1st of January 2012, there have been only 18 property transactions - which really proves that Lonsdale Square is a good place to live on.
Lonsdale Square remains a highly desirable location for property buyers, and the terraces continue to be highly sought after due to their historic character and prime location - the perfect place to call home.
