How to find mum friends in Islington

Islington has a lot of parents living in flats without gardens, which means everyone is outside and everyone is in the same few places. Highbury Fields is the centre of that, particularly the playground end. The canal towpath towards Angel is the other route where you see the same faces.

Where parents in Islington actually meet

• Highbury Fields playground — the single most reliable spot in the borough.
• Barnard Park, smaller and closer for the streets around Angel.
• The Regent's Canal towpath towards King's Cross.

None of this needs an introduction or a committee. Pick one, go at roughly the same time twice, and you will start recognising people — which is most of the battle.

How ParentGO helps

• Arrange a meet-up. Post a time and a place and see who is free.
• Message a parent directly. A conversation at a class does not have to end when the class does.
• Ask a local question. Which class is worth the money, where to go in Islington when it has rained for three days.

It is free to join, you choose how much you share, and dads, grandparents and carers use it too.
