The Freedom of the Borough of Islington in London, England is awarded to people the Islington Council recognizes have "made an outstanding contribution to the community." It is the highest honor the Council can bestow.
Prior to 1965, the current London borough was made up of two separate metropolitan boroughs: the Metropolitan Borough of Islington and the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury, with separate awards for each.
