A new nine-screen cinema, a gym and another Marks and Spencer Foodhall are on their way to Islington as part of the £220million City North scheme in Finsbury Park takes shape.

The 355-home development is nearing completion and is now towering over the area’s skyline.

People will start to move into the largely luxury flats from autumn this year, and there will be commercial units by the new entrance to Finsbury Park station in Goodwin Street and Wells Terrace.

Cineworld will be taking over the cinema, while M&S have taken the opportunity to open another food store.
