Welcome to Islington

It’s hard to believe that Islington was once a peaceful countryside retreat, famous for freshwater springs and farmland dating back to the medieval period. These days, the only thing springing up is another fantastic restaurant, indie shop, or buzzing bar. But if you look past the lively streets, you’ll still find plenty of elegant Georgian terraces, Victorian townhouses, and charming squares that hint at its long history.

Our local guide: Islington

Islington — Stow Brothers

At the heart of it all is Upper Street—or as food lovers call it, “Supper Street” (for good reason). Fancy Italian fine dining? Trullo has you covered. More of a modern Middle Eastern fan? Ottolenghi is your spot. If you’re after a proper pub with top-notch food, The Drapers Arms is hard to beat. Prefer your Turkish fusion bold and boisterous with a rock soundtrack, then head to F.K.A.B.A.M.

Night owls won’t be disappointed either. The Old Queen’s Head mixes live music, DJs, and a rowdy good time, while The Compton Arms offers craft beer and seriously good eats.

Culture vultures are spoiled for choice. Sadler’s Wells delivers world-class dance, the Almeida Theatre showcases cutting-edge drama, and for something a little more offbeat, The Hen & Chickens Theatre (above a pub, naturally) offers comedy and fringe theatre in an intimate setting.

If you need a break from the buzz, Highbury Fields provides a peaceful green escape, perfect for a weekend stroll, picnic, or just people-watching with a coffee in hand.
