Angel & Islington

Angel station gives its name to the southern end of Islington — one of North London's most pleasant and liveable areas, built around Upper Street's dense restaurant and pub scene.

Upper Street

London's most reliable restaurant street outside the centre — everything from Ethiopian to Lebanese to Japanese, with enough density that walk-in tables are usually available on weeknights.

Camden Passage

A narrow lane of antique dealers off Upper Street — Wednesday and Saturday mornings bring outdoor stalls alongside the permanent shops.

Getting There

Angel station (Northern line) sits at the heart of the area.

Tips

• Upper Street is best in the evening for dinner.
• Camden Passage antique dealers are most active Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
