Canonbury

Map 81

The Canonbury area is a delicious cocktail of diversity with a heady mix of leafy spacious streets, multi-million-pound mansions, a dollop of tempered hipster abodes and some of London’s poorest estates. Essex Road has a Banksy and quirky shops including the notable Get Stuffed for all your taxidermy needs. Foodies are well catered for with real butchers (James Elliot), bakers (Raab’s), and great ethnic eateries (Zigni House and Sabor).
