I always assumed that it was either Eye-zl-dn or Eye-yl-dn, but
apparently Isledon was the old name for Islington. This makes me
think it must be Iz-ler-dn, since that's the only pronunciation
which could conceivably drift into Islington.
I say aisle-dn. But i've only lived round there for a couple of
years, and have never actually heard anyone local pronounce it.
I've always pronounced it like the toilet paper - Izal-dun - the same as
Isleworth.
