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.
