The Angel, Grade II listed building in Islington, London, England
Description
The Angel is a Grade II listed building in Islington, London, standing where two major roads meet. The red brick facade rises six floors and houses office spaces with retail on the ground level, while a glazed atrium brings light into the center of the complex.
History
Architects Eedle and Meyers designed this structure in the early 20th century as part of Islington's expansion. A major renovation in 2010 modernized the interior and added contemporary elements without altering the exterior appearance.
Culture
The building takes its name from a coaching inn that welcomed travelers at this crossroads since the 17th century and gave the whole area its identity. Today the address marks a district where offices mix with small shops and cafés, while the Underground station brings visitors into the neighborhood.
Practical
Proximity to Angel Underground Station makes access easy, while the ground floor remains open to pedestrians with shop fronts visible from the street. The office levels above are private, but the central atrium can sometimes be viewed during events.
Did you know?
A sculpture in the atrium was inspired by flowing treacle and references a curious 19th-century legend from the neighborhood. The slender form of the installation arose from using modern materials that combine strength and transparency.
