Highbury 

Map of Highbury

Highbury carries on from where Angel left off (both being in the overall district of Islington). As such, the "Angel end" has very much the same kind of atmosphere that it's sibling has, though maybe a little less Bohemian and a little more Grandiose. It's at the end of Highbury where you'll find all the fashion oriented shops, for once you get to and past Highbury Corner (the rather large round-a-bout) from there on out it's mainly services and health and beauty. One thing that is abundant and consistent throughout the area is places to eat. These range from the common fast food restaurants, to diners, to up class restaurants offering all kinds of culinary delight from around the globe. You'll find no shortage of watering holes to wash the food down with either. Made famous through appearances in British blockbusters like "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and Nick Hornby's "Fever Pitch" (himself a resident along with a few other famous faces), the area benefits from the nearby Arsenal Football Club, but you'll find plenty of hidden gems in this popular shopping destination.
