Location

The station is located on Islington High Street, about 50 metres north of the junction Of Pentonville Road (west), Islington High Street - leading to Upper Street (north), St. John Street (south) and City Road with Goswell Road coming together (east).

Entrances and Exits

There are four entrances separated by pillars, from Islington High Street into a single concourse, which we will number from the south:

• 1 and 2, you enter the concourse facing east;
• 3, from the corner of the building, you enter the concourse facing southeast;
• 4, from a forecourt to the west of the pavement, you enter the concourse facing south.

Warning

Note, there are various obstacles in the forecourt before it rises above pavement level as you move north towards a covered area with shops. There are two steps down to pavement level to your left, which eventually disappear, leaving a low wall between the forecourt and the pavement. We suggest you bear left from exits 3 or 4 to be sure you're following the pavement.

Local Road Crossings

There's a Pelican crossing over Islington High Street about 15 metres north of entrance 3, which takes you to the junction with Liverpool Road. The crossing is fitted with rotating cones. The post with push button is to your right. Cross half-way to the island, turn right, follow the railings on your left to locate the post and push button.

Local Buses

There are three bus stops labelled G, F and E (from south to north) about 30 metres north of the station. At the time of our survey, these serve:

• Stop G: 4, 43 and 56 to Barbican, Moorgate or Smithfield;
• Stop F: 19, 38, 341, N19, N38 and N43, towards Holborn;
• Stop E: 30, 73 and N73 towards King's Cross.
