St Peter's & Canalside, Islington: Jobs

Most people here work in professional services, finance, or tech — and many work from home. It's a neighbourhood packed with skilled workers who feed into London's knowledge economy. Professional, scientific and technical roles are the biggest employer, making up around 1 in 5 jobs. Finance and insurance, information and communication, and health and education are also strong here. This is firmly white-collar territory. Working from home is the norm — over half of residents worked mainly from home at the 2021 census. Those who do commute mostly walk or take the bus. Car use is low, which makes sense given the urban setting and the type of work people do here.
