Islington

Good for gastropubs, curry and the length of Upper Street.

Islington's best-saved place is a pub that serves Tamil food, which tells you how the area works now. The Tamil Prince and Delhi Grill do the heavy lifting, Pophams handles breakfast, and Katsute 100 pours matcha in a back garden nobody finds by accident. Upper Street is the spine. The good stuff is usually one street off it.
