The Canonbury Tavern
A public house since the early 1700's, The Canonbury Tavern was refurbished in 2009 giving the residents of Islington one of the best pub gardens in the city and a superb roast lunch on a Sunday. Moreover, the beautiful garden offers an escape from chaotic city life.Read more
Pho House
After trying nearly all of the Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road, this is by far the best. The setting is cool with graffiti style art on the walls and the service is excellent compared to other places on the same road. Complimentary tea and watermelon at the end is exactly what is needed after trying the extensive menu of pho, noodles, summer rolls and fresh fish.Read more

"The first canned food was patented by a merchant in Hoxton called Peter Durand in 1810. Sadly the invention of the can opener was still fifty years away and they had to be opened by a hammer!"
Canonbury and Islington are renowned for their beautiful Regency architecture that attracts so many of the local residents.

Within touching distance of the West End, yet retaining a vibrant neighbourhood feel, Islington is a smart choice for buyers and tenants.

Dj Scotch Egg Residency - Friday - 20 Years Of Kfc Core
Baba Yaga's Hut Presents: DJ Scotch Egg Residency 20 Years of KFC Core DJ Scotch Egg Live Shitmat Friday 23rd May £20 (inc. fees) - Cafe Oto Veteran producer, Shigeru Ishihara is an artist as multifaceted as he is boundary- breaking. Originally from Tokyo, he exploded onto Brighton’s underground music scene in the early 2000’s as DJ Scotch Egg, building a legion of dedicated followers who flocked to witness his energetic performances. Armed with a Game Boy and a megaphone, he battered audiences with a blend of relentless riffs and confrontational guttural roar, later dubbed breakcore. Alongside, he created Wrong Music, a noise-oriented anything-goes event series with friends Henry Collins (aka Shitmat) and Matt (Roger Species). Since relocating to Berlin in 2011, the melting pot has expanded ever further. His sound has been informed through collaborations with artists from all over the world: Turkish MC Ethnique Punch, Shanghai’s Gooooose (SVBKVLT), and bass music legend, Shackleton. Following a seminal artist residency in 2019 with Nyege Nyege in Kampala, Uganda, collaborations with a kaleidoscope of East-African talent opened a new portal. ‘TEWARI’ (2020) was released to much critical acclaim under his new Scotch Rolex alias. 20 years on from the release that started it all, KFC CORE (2005, Adadaat), DJ Scotch Egg has not only survived the test of time, but thrives in a universe all of his own: 8-bit gabber + breakcore, seething bass, irresistible melodies, and a good dose of stage-diving have made his high-energy performances a must-see for a new generation of extreme music lovers. Presented by Baba Yaga's Hut. All agesRead more
