Islington to get $8m wine bar, bakery, gelato and dining precinct

An artist impression of Islington Village, which will stretch across four blocks at the end of Beaumont Street.

In a sign that Islington has moved on from its colourful past, the first stage of an $8-million development will open soon, that will include a bar, artisan bakery, a gelato store, restaurants and shop-top apartments.

The three-storey development will stretch across four blocks on Beaumont Street and will be collectively known as Islington Village.
