It covers an overall area of 5.74 square miles. The borough consists of two Westminster parliamentary constituencies, Islington North and Islington South & Finsbury.
The 2011 Census indicated that Islington contains the highest population density of local authorities in England and Wales, with 13875 people per square kilometre. As outlined by population estimates collected in the middle of 2014, Islington has a permanent population of about 221030 people. The borough is served by a range of transportation services, with direct connections to the suburbs plus the City and West End. In 2011, the main forms of transports that residents used were the underground, metro, light rail and tram, which were employed by 19.4 per cent of all residents. Another 10.3 per cent used the bus, as well as 10.3 per cent being the figure for people who would walk.
