Islington, Wentworth

Islington (/ˈɪzlɪŋtən/  iz -ling-tuhn) is an inner-city suburb of Wentworth in the Borough of Newhaven. It is located on the western edge of the Wentworth central business district, and is named after Islington in London.

Islington is a busy, vibrant neighbourhood characterised by high density terrace housing, numerous cafés and boutique stores, and a multicultural central shopping area reflecting the successive waves of immigration experienced by the suburb throughout the 20th century. Once a centre for Italian and Greek migrants, it later also became a hub for immigrants from Vietnam and the Philippines. The suburb has undergone rapid development and gentrification in the 21st century thanks to its position just beyond the Wentworth city centre.
