De Beauvoir Town

De Beauvoir Town ( /də ˈbiːvər/ or /ˌdiː boʊˈvwɑr/, US dict: dē bō·vwâr′) is a district of the London Borough of Hackney that partly falls within the London Borough of Islington. Its borders are Kingsland Road in the east, Southgate Road to the west, the Regent's Canal in the south and Tottenham Road to the north. These are the official borders; however, some residents to the west of Southgate Road in the London Borough of Islington also consider themselves to be within this highly desirable area of central north London.

It shares the northern London postal district of N1 with neighbouring Islington, Barnsbury, Canonbury and Hoxton.

Famous quotes containing the words beauvoir and/or town:

    Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside—from others. We do not accept it willingly.
    —Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)

    The time you won your town the race
    We chaired you through the market-place;
    Man and boy stood cheering by,
    And home we brought you shoulder-high.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
