Angel Islington

London

Tony Blair's home ground and now a yuppie playground, Angel Islington has a lot to offer. Upper Street is one long stretch of restaurants and bars. Seek out antiques in Camden Passage or stroll along Regent's Canal and see why this corner of North London is an Angel. The district hasn't always been so fashionable, and as recently as the 1980s was largely written off as a slum. However, this was not to last, as the area has been thoroughly gentrified over the past few decades. Other notable former residents include Charlie Watts, drummer of the Rolling Stones, and the popular singer Dido.
