Florence Pub, Islington: Hot as you like

Florence Pub, Highbury, Islington, London, UK

This is not a restaurant per se, but yet another British pub selling great food, in this case Thai. There has been a trend over the last ten years or so to have Thai kitchens in London pubs, especially at lunchtime. I am fond of Thai food and have tried a few of them obviously, and this is one of the better ones, in my opinion. I believe they also do a very good Sunday roast dinner although I have never tried it myself.

The pub itself has a slightly quirky feel with the almost obligatory mismatched furniture, but there are certainly some very comfortable sofas to relax in.

Given the often ludicrous prices in a part of London that is terribly trendy, a spot of lunch here won't leave you requiring a second mortgage.

Recommended.

Favorite Dish: I love the chilli beef, and if you ask the waitress nicely, you can have it as hot as you like, ranging from merely hot to positively nuclear.

Highbury, Islington or both?

 OK, let me explain what the title means, in case you were wondering. London is divided into 32 Boroughs (effectively administrative areas) and one of these is the London Borough of Islington. Although...

 I mean, why Highbury and not neighbouring Holloway or Islington. I mean, Angel Islington is famous. It's on the Monopoly board. More to the point, it has a sense of being a place, a focus. Highbury...
