A residential square in Islington which makes for a lovely, quiet spot to enjoy a picnic, ogle at the surrounding houses, and relax in the idyllic gardens. 

The man in charge of the onion bhajis and okra fries is ex-Roti King chef Prince Durairaj, while serious drinkers will recognise Simone Pugi from Soho’s Bar Termini. You’ll want to order extra roti to mop up all the sauces, possibly the cocktails too. One of London’s much-loved pubs that is no longer a pub, serving some of the city’s best curry.

A small theatre with an international reputation, the Almeida is on a mission to launch the next generation of actors. And it frequently does, with productions such as Annie Ernaux’s The Years and Peter Morgan’s Patriots transferring straight to the West End. This is the place to come to be in the know about the London theatre scene.
