Have you put her name into Google?

If not then type her name with speech marks e.g "June Smith" and then click on 'Images' at the top of the search page.

'Images' will bring up possible photos ect, you can then click on the image to find where it appears in a text entry.

Apologies if you are already aware of this research source.

If you contact Islington Council - or whatever the local authority is for the area - they may well have records. They may also have newspaper articles etc, there may even be publications. That's where I'd start.
