Map 83

If you’re bored of the bars on Upper Street or the ironic chic of Hoxton, the streets in between (along Essex Road or by the canal) are a better bet, with a more laidback atmosphere. The Island Queen (NFT London’s official birthplace!) is a cosy local pub and well worth a visit. One day they’ll just have to give us one of those blue plaques.
