Islington

Our very first London flat was in Islington and the area holds a warm place in my heart. Upper Street is full of great shops, restaurants, and streets like Camden Passage are so fun to wander down. Here are some of my favourite places in the area:Udderlicious- My absolute favourite ice cream in London. If I am nearby one of their two locations I always stop and get a scoop, no matter the weather. My favourite flavour is the dark chocolate sea salt sorbet.Paper Mache Tiger- This store is so cool. It is a cafe/clothing/home goods/plant store. You won’t regret a wonder through. Molly Meg- One of my favourite children’s clothing stores in London. If you can’t make it to Islington check out their online store. Aria- A lovely home goods store with beautiful things to fill your home. Ottolenghi- One of my favourite restaurants in London. The food is fresh and delicious and has the best flavours.Almedia Theatre- This Off West End theatre is one of my favourites The Pig and Butcher- A cozy gastro pub with delicious food. Be sure to save room for dessert! Smug- A darling store full of cute stationary and home goods. Pophams- Unique flavours and delicious viennoiserie. Blood Orange & Dark Chocolate Custard pastry anyone?Victoria Miro Gallery- Pop in to see whatever cool exhibition they have on.Cookies and Scream- A vegan and gluten free bakery offering brownies, cookies, milkshakes, and more. Little Angel Theatre- A theatre that is just for kids. We especially love their puppet shows! They have shows for all ages, from babies to older kids. Hummingbird Bakery- The best place to get your cupcake or cake fix. Present & Correct- One of the best stationary stores in London. With retro inspired paper and office goods you won’t be able to leave empty handed. Quill London- The most darling calligraphy shop that sells all the things you need to pen your perfect letter.
