Islington’s Golden Mile – drapery, corsetry and fancy goods

A wander along Upper Street looking at remnants of lovely old shop fronts hinting at a bygone age when this area was a magnet for upper classes, hence its reputation as Islington’s Golden Mile.

Learn about the top quality products on offer, beautifully presented behind spindle windows and curved glass.

Hear about umbrella makers, handmade corsetry, beautiful shoes, luxurious fabrics, homewares, provisions, furriers, furnishers, tailors, toy shops and tricks. Evidence of these can be seen within intricate floor mosaics, gilded signs, marble and metal, and terrazzo thresholds – a truly A1 shopping experience.
