Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
ISLINGTON (in Domesday and later documents Iseldon, Isendon and in the 16th century Hisselton) , a northern metropolitan borough of London, England, bounded E. by Stoke Newington and Hackney, S. by Shoreditch and Finsbury, and W. by St Pancras, and extending N. to the boundary of the county of London. Pop.(19o1)334,991. The name is commonly applied to the southern part of the borough, which, however, includes the districts of
Holloway
  in the north, Highbury in the
east
 , part of Kingsland in the south-
east
 , and Barnsbury and Canonbury in the south-central portion. The districts included preserve the names of ancient manors, and in Canonbury, which belonged as early as the r3th century to the priory of St Bartholomew, Smithfield, traces of the old manor
house
  remain. The fields and places of entertainment in Islington were favourite places of resort for the citizens of London in the 17th century and later; the modern Ball's Pond Road recalls the sport of duck-hunting practised here and on other ponds in the parish, and the popularity of the place was increased by the discovery of chalybeate wells. At Copenhagen Fields, now covered by the
great
  cattle market (r8S5) adjoining Caledonian Road, a
great
  meeting of labourers was held in 1834. They were suspected of intending to impose their views on parliament by violence, but a display of military force held them in check. The most noteworthy modern institutions in Islington are the Agricultural
Hall
 , Liverpool Road, erected in 1862, and used for cattle and horse shows and other exhibitions; Pentonville
Prison, Caledonian Road (1842), a vast
pile
  of buildings radiating from a centre, and
Holloway
  Prison. The borough has only some 40 acres of public grounds, the principal of which is Highbury Fields. Among its institutions are the Great Northern Central
Hospital
 
    See Also:
, Holloway, the London Fever
Hospital

, the Northern
Polytechnic
 , and the London School of Divinity, St John's
Hall
 : Highbury. Islington is a suffragan bishopric in the diocese of London. The parliamentary borough of Islington has north, south, east and west divisions, each returning one member. The borough council consists of a mayor, io aldermen and 6o councillors. Area, 3091.5 acres.
