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.

School Streets

Islington Council introduced our first School Streets in 2018, accelerating the programme in response to the pandemic. Our School Streets help to improve air quality, reduce road danger and create a safer environment for local people to walk, cycle and use buggies and wheelchairs.

We now have 36 School Streets covering 37 primary schools across the borough and have started improving the environment outside primary schools located on main roads.

You can view the location of the School Streets on Google maps.
