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.

Finsbury Leisure Centre Project – St Luke’s Area

We are exploring ways to improve the Finsbury Leisure Centre site, to bring it up to date and build greater benefits for the local community.

Our proposals include:

  • new council homes for those most in need
  • excellent and affordable sports and leisure facilities
  • space for an NHS GP surgery
  • better planting and greenery
  • pedestrian and cycle paths.

We want to create a place that nurtures the health and wellbeing of Islington’s communities.

Visit Islington Let's Talk - our engagement website - for more about our proposals and to have your say on our plans.
