Islington is a hotbed of antique shops and superb restaurants. A must see is Camden Passage Antique Centre which has everything from toy dealers to mantel clocks.
The surrounding buildings are made up of Georgian town houses and new developments. Upper Street which runs from Highbury Corner down to Angel is jam-packed with boutiques, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops to suit all tastes. Whether you’re staying in the area or just visiting, it really is an ideal place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
We would also recommend you take a stroll along the Regents canal and the New river which run through the borough.
There is a friendly and community like feel to the area and is had traditionally had a mixed demographic, from bankers to music producers, journalists and comedians to lawyers and politicians.
The area is also home to Arsenal Emirates Stadium which is one of London’s biggest football teams.
