Islington: Markets, Theatres and Canal Walks

North of the city centre, Islington combines lively shopping streets with markets, theatres and quieter side streets. Restaurants and independent shops line Upper Street. Camden Passage is known for its antiques and vintage finds, while food stalls and eateries along Exmouth Market invite you to stop for a bite. The Regent’s Canal offers a pleasant route for a walk away from the main streets.

Football fans can include Emirates Stadium in Holloway in their visit. By comparison, Soho offers a more central West End experience, while the Docklands are shaped by their location on the Thames.
