Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Street naming and numbering

Information on how to name or change the name or number of a street or building.

Apply for street naming or numbering if you need:

  • addresses for new developments
  • addresses for properties where the number of units is being changed, for example where a house is being converted into a number of self-contained flats
  • changes to property names
  • to add a property name to a numbered address
  • rename streets and renumber buildings

We do not create new post codes, but we get new ones from Royal Mail after new addresses have been agreed if needed.

Apply for a new or changed address

Once we have got your application, we will send you a reference number and a link to online payment.
