Independents 4 (sit in a joint Independent and Green group). North London, stereotyped as a trendy borough but more down-to-earth than often realised. Much linked with Labour leaders current and past. Includes Finsbury with some city financial services.

Labour held Junction at a byelection on 28 November. Islington Independents were formed by Matt Nathan (Clerkenwell) and Asima Shaikh (Finsbury Park), Phil Graham (Bunhill) and Ilkay Cinko-Oner (Laycock) in July 2024.
