Islington YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) is a grassroots group advocating for more and better housing in the London Borough of Islington. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe, affordable, and well-designed homes—and that the only way to achieve this is by building more of them.

Our mission is to support residents, community groups, and decision-makers in saying “yes” to new housing that meets the needs of current and future Londoners. We provide resources, highlight local planning opportunities, and help people navigate how to support good development in their neighbourhoods.

Whether you’re a long-time resident concerned about housing shortages, a renter struggling with high costs, or just someone who wants to see a more inclusive and sustainable Islington, you’re welcome here.

Get involved:

• Support planning applications that deliver high-quality homes
• Connect with like-minded neighbours
• Learn how housing policy shapes our borough
• Stay informed through our blog and newsletter

Let’s make Islington a place where more people can live and thrive!
