One of London's best kept secrets. The size of a small living room, but serving the best experimental cocktails around. The bar uses spirits and drinks that it infuses itself in a drinks laboratory and the staff wear lab coats.

A fantastic boozer in the heart of Camden Passage. Sit out in the beer garden watching the locals mooching around the market stalls.

Off the beaten track. Amazing dim sum and very good value for money.

Not great if you're on a budget. However, if you want to push the boat out and want tasty Turkish-inspired food, you're in luck!

Great wine, superb food and awesome al fresco dining in their garden during the warmer months.

A public house since the early 1700's, The Canonbury Tavern was refurbished in 2009 giving the residents of Islington one of the best pub gardens in the city and a superb roast lunch on a Sunday. Moreover, the beautiful garden offers an escape from chaotic city life.

I love a weekend walk along Regent's Canal with a glass of rosé from Towpath.

This is a fab little deli with homemade cakes, tonnes of local produce and some really great cheese! There's always people sat outside enjoying a sandwich and a coffee...

Long lazy Sundays or a swift ale after a busy day at work, The Baring is an ever popular watering hole that also has a serious Tuesday night quiz!

Vintage and antiques shops, Camden Passage oozes character and quirkiness with great places to have a coffee or dine. Oh so pretty and quaint!

The most sophistication you can find between two kebab shops on a roundabout. A speakeasy-style cocktail bar underneath the adjacent shops, serving the best cocktail creations in town.

The only place in London to do a bacon doughnut... They also have amazing chicken and lunchtime deals in the week!

I love the vibrancy of Islington - the streets are full of restaurants from different cultures. There's also green space in central London. Plenty to see and do here. Plus of course there's Arsenal FC!

Islington is a great balance of lively night-life and lovely places to chill out. It's a foodie's paradise with virtually every cuisine covered and a variety of settings from very formal to relaxed to cheap and cheerful. There's even great cinemas, theatre and music venues and unique and chain shops. The convenience factor's pretty good too with decent sized supermarkets, bus, tube and train transport and an easy (often walkable) commute to Central London

The local council works hard to clean up and empty our bins

North London has become one of my favourites places in London, mainly due to the many things there are to do, food, entertainment, socialising. I've made more friends living here that I have anywhere else, love that! I love that everything is within reach and a few minutes walk to exciting parts of east London, Shoreditch and hackney for instance. It has a quiet aspect considering its quite central, so if you love the city but value some peace swell, Islington is a five star for that! It's a lovely, friendly environment for children and families in general :)

Fantastic area, great bars and restaurants for socialising, parks for jogging, and shops, it's like being in a village in London.

A mainly residential district of north Inner London, Islington is approximately 2 miles (3 km) from Charing Cross. Once a rural area that supplied the city with water and vegetables, Islington has become one of London’s most coveted suburbs. The area is known for unique shops, restaurants, bars, and pubs, a weekly farmers’ market, and a vibrant arts and culture scene. Despite the buzz, Islington has a somewhat secluded, tranquil village-like atmosphere, thanks to the Regent’s Canal, New River, and several parks. There’s a good choice of schools in the area and its popular with families and well-off young couples.
