The Angel, Islington is a historic landmark and a series of buildings that have stood on the corner of
Islington High Street and
Pentonville Road in
Islington,
London, England. The land originally belonged to the
Clerkenwell Priory and has had various properties built on it since the 16th century. The site was bisected by the
New Road, which opened in 1756, and properties on the site have been rebuilt several times up to the 20th century. The corner site gave its name to
Angel tube station, opened in 1901, and the surrounding
Angel area of London.
