THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY
When Dominic Richards founded the sustainable development
company Our Place, his aim was to create residential areas that
would become thriving communities. It’s rather tting that his own
home is on Arlington Avenue, a leafy corner of Islington known
for its friendly atmosphere. Now up for sale, the end-of-terrace
Victorian townhouse has been meticulously restored, and there’s
even a summer fete in the garden square – perfect for meeting
the neighbours. For more information, visit http://www.cluttons.com
