I mentioned yesterday that we took a leisurely stroll to Islington from our hotel opposite St Pancras Station. Islington is an interesting and diverse place. Tucked behind it's main thoroughfare is Camden Passage.

I was just sorry there was no market on but we stopped and people watched at Coffee Works Project
cafe islington
On Upper Street we passed a cafe with a window table made from a scooter, so clever.

Had I been hungry I could have eaten every single item in that shop.

Islington is a diverse and hugely innovative place to wander around. I love that old shop signs still remain when new businesses take over, as they do in Paris. Islington is a designers paradise and well worth a visit.
