The Best Things
- Going out with a few non trendy mates is allways a good time
- That funny little iron clock tower just down from the crossroads.
- Everyone sitting outside on the pavements outside when it's sunny, and the variety of eateries.
- Its close to everywhere, fun to live in, brilliant shops and lots of places to eat.
- the absinth sold at the purple turtle (cheapest in london)
- The architecture
- food, pubs, people (in general - there are arseholes everywhere)
- great squares with nice georgian houses without net curtains so you can look inside at fabby middle-class families and feel jealous
- Probably the finest feature of Islington during the 1977-79 and 1991-5 period has been its abilty to foster young musical talent. The seventies saw bands such as Eddie & the Hot Rods, the Stranglers, Ace and the Sex Pistols playing at the Hope & Anchor (Upper Street), whilst the nineties have been witness to the resurgence of the London sound (eg Blur & Stone Country) in the Trolley Stop.
- Best thing: The Embassy.
- Gotta be the Narrow Boat pub: hot day... cold pint... canal... what more can I say? Itss a pace of life thing.
- Good mix of poncey (which can be fun sometimes) and down-to-earth
