Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Islington Estate Agents
This isn’t your average high-street chain with beige suits and fake plants. KFH Islington is a local legend. They’ve been matching people with flats since before your parents were born.
Their windows are like tiny theaters. You’ll see photos of attic conversions, Georgian townhouses, and sometimes a cat that came with the property. It’s dangerously addictive to window-shop here.
The Staff Are Secretly Superheroes
Walk into their office on Upper Street. You’ll be greeted by someone who knows the exact bus route to the estate. They also know which café has the best flat white.
These agents have x-ray vision for hidden storage space. They can spot a period feature from across a crowded room. They once described a shoebox-sized studio as “cozy with potential” and meant it as a compliment.
