A theatre and a pub - all in one.
planxty Says: To my eternal shame, I'm not actually much of a thatre-goer, although I do like a good pub. There is quite a tradition in London of having theatres above large old public houses, and this is one such place. It is the Old Red Lion theatre pub in Islington. Actually, Islington...

planxty Says: On my regular rambles round Islington, this is another place I like to pop into for a pint or two. I find it less pretentious than some of the other pubs further down Upper Street. Although it looks narrow from the front, it extends back for a huge distance, and is furnished...
planxty Says: This is another example of an Islington theatre pub (see also my tip on the Old Red Lion) and to be honest I could probably just cut and paste the other revue, as it is so similar. Like the nearby old Red Lion, it is a lovely old (19th century) building, which serves as a...
Florence Pub, Islington: Hot as you like
planxty Says: 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...

Arsenal Supermarket: Cheap bottles of beer
neilward Says: After your fry-up in The Arsenal Cafe,you`ll notice across the road,the queue to get into the pub,so go next door,and buy a few bottles of well known lagers/beers and just sup and chill out "Al Fresco".Just take in the pre-match atmosphere. Lagers and some beers. About £1...
l_joo Says: It wasn't on my plan to visit Highbury Stadium but when I was in London, I have one underground map where it has a name familiar to me, since I was in the subway, why not pay a visit. I have only one photo of Highbury in my London page.

....Change here for the North London line
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...
