Louisa’s guidebook to Islington
Food scene
Market street just 5 mins from Angel Station. During the week stalls sell fruit & veg, plants, household goods etc. There is a great community spirit as many sellers have been operating from Chapel Market for many years.
On Sundays it welcomes the lovely Islington Farmers’ Market. There is a great mix of pubs, cafes and restaurants on the street. My recommendations would be:
Day & Night pub - great for a bottemless brunch
Indian Veg House - cheap and cheerful curry buffet, all homemade and delivious!
Alpinos - old school cafe, been longstanding part of the community since the 1950's

Cobbled street filled with vintage, antique and several other quirky and interesting shops. There are also a number of great places to eat, I would recommend Brother Marcus (trendy Greek food) or Kipferl (Austrian cafe).

A working church and music venue, which also serves as a charity drop-in centre for the homeless in Islington. If you can catch a show here, I would really recommend as it is a unique and amazing venue!
