Map 82

De Beauvoir is the buffer zone where swanky Islington meets the self-regard of Dalston. As such it’s an ideal place to get a reprieve from either side. To the west are quiet squares and gastropubs. Venture east and you’ll be up-’til-dawn boozing, talking to individuals comic book writers couldn’t dream up. When you’re sick of both, sit in De Beauvoir Square (with its thousands of palm trees) and ponder life.
