Highbury is a district of North London in Islington Borough, around 4 miles north north-east of the capital's centre. It may be most well-known for hosting Arsenal Football Club's stadium, which was originally in Gillespie Road but has now moved to Drayton Park.
The original stadium has been redeveloped into sought-after luxury residential flats. Other landmarks include the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art and the Canonbury Tower. The area has become steadily more gentrified since the 1980s.

Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.
Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

Highbury Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
When you are buying a property in Highbury, it may be one of the largest investments of your life. The last thing you want is to move in and find that there is something wrong with the property which could reduce its value.
This idea of 'buyer beware' means it is so important to investigate any risks or threats which might affect the property and its surrounding area. By booking searches from the Islington Council you can find out about risks such as subsidence, pollution, preservation orders, radon gas seepage, planning permissions, and flood risks.
We always recommend that you book at least these 4 searches; from the Islington Council; local authority, drainage, environment and chancel repair.
It is possible that these searches will flag up suggested additional searches such as HS2, flood and mining reports. Your solicitor can advise you on this.
