It is part of the light blue group with Pentonville Road and Euston Road. In the game, a house at the Angel costs £50; by the turn of the 21st century a house on Islington High Street fetched around £600,000. In 1827, James Pollard painted "The Royal Mail Coaches for the North Leaving the Angel, Islington", currently on display in the Tate Gallery.

Pentonville Road an atmosphere of spaciousness along the thoroughfare. The original 1756 act to create the New Road prohibited the construction of any building within of its side. Though the area had been designed to be a pleasant suburb, the arrival of railways in the 1840s turned the road into an industrial urban street, with factories and workshops aligning the road. The original bylaw restricting property on the front of the road was ignored and shops were built on top of gardens. By the 21st century, most of the manufacturing base along Pentonville Road had disappeared. The original townhouses are now apartments.
