Why advertise at Angel?
Home to the longest escalator on the network, a 60 metre run with nothing else to look at.
The station carries the longest escalator on the Underground, a sixty metre run with nothing to look at but the panels beside it — the single strongest sequential storytelling site on the network. Above ground, Upper Street's bars and restaurants keep evening traffic strong long after the City has emptied.
Angel sits in zone 1, in Islington, and is served by Northern. Platform formats can be weighted towards a single line; escalator, ticket hall and concourse formats reach everyone passing through.

Station dominations are subject to inventory and usually need twelve weeks' notice, from around £40,000 for two weeks. Only one advertiser holds a station at a time, so the peak trading periods go early.
