Local guide
About Islington
Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.

Savour the perfect brunch at Sunday Cafe & Restaurant
This cosy café is a local favourite for what many might call the epitome of brunch. Expect plates stacked high with colourful fresh goodness and queues at the weekend, but it's well worth the wait.
