Rats in Islington
Rats in Islington follow water and green space. The New River walk and the Regent's Canal, along with open spaces such as Highbury Fields and Barnard Park, give them food and cover, and from there they travel along sewers, railway banks and garden fences into nearby homes.
In Angel (N1), for instance: Angel has Upper Street's restaurants and bars, Chapel Market and the Regent's Canal, with Georgian terraces and estates close together. Near busy high streets, rats are drawn by food waste and bins and often get into flats above shops through gaps around pipework.

Much of the housing in Highbury, Holloway and Archway is Victorian and Edwardian terraces. In terraced streets rats often come from defective drains under the house or along shared rear gardens, so we check inspection chambers and pipe joints as well as the house itself.
