Canonbury is one of north London’s most coveted addresses. The N1 Conservation Area around Canonbury Square contains some of Islington’s finest intact Georgian townhouses, and the streets running south from Canonbury Road into the Victorian heart of N1 are no less impressive. Properties here can be large: four or five storeys, deep basements, original features throughout, and the kind of period staircase that requires furniture blankets, a three-man crew and careful negotiation around original banisters. We do this regularly. If your move is from a Canonbury Georgian townhouse, tell us on the phone and we’ll make sure the crew is the right size from the start.

Canonbury sits in the London Borough of Islington. The Canonbury Conservation Area covers the streets around Canonbury Square and Tower, protecting some of London’s finest surviving Georgian architecture. Properties in the square itself are listed and the streets running off it, including Alwyne Road, Alwyne Villas and Alwyne Place, are lined with large double-fronted and single-fronted Georgian houses that can take the better part of two days to clear when they’ve been lived in for many years. According to the ONS 2021 Census, the London Borough of Islington has a population of over 245,000, and demand for housing in N1’s most desirable streets like Canonbury has driven prices well above the borough median for decades.
All the streets in Canonbury Conservation Area are CPZ controlled. Parking suspensions are required for virtually every move and Islington Council needs a minimum of 48 hours’ notice. Our crews know how to move large pieces of furniture through original door frames, around original hall tables and up narrow staircases without damaging paintwork or cornicing. HM Land Registry data confirms N1 Canonbury properties consistently achieve some of the highest prices in all of Islington, with detached and large semi-detached houses regularly selling above £2 million. We also offer our piano and specialist removals service for grand and upright pianos that need to come out of Canonbury period properties. We cover Islington and Highbury under the same careful process.
Canonbury Overground station is a short walk from the square. The area is well placed for Essex Road and Upper Street, both busy but generally fine for a Luton van on the side roads. Call 020 4525 2039 for a free fixed-price quote.
