At just under 6 square miles Islington is the borough just north of the City, easily walked to from the centre and served by several tube stops. It's a varied area of beautiful green Georgian streets, busy thoroughfares, traditional and modern stores. It has a bit of everything, making it one of London's most popular neighbourhoods.
We love Chapel Market for its no nonsense approach & proper selection of stalls. You can pick up everything from scouring pads & batteries to some good value veg & meat. In an area which does not shy from fancy it is heartening that the market is still active almost daily. Also, for freegans, there are often good bits left around at the end of the day.
