I come out on to Islington High Street and I feel I am back in London after the tranquility of the Regents Canal and the more relaxed and laid back vibe of both Columbia Road and Broadway Market. Its busy, lots of people, everybody going somewhere and in a hurry. Something that I had not been aware of, or even given any thought to, until I decided on this blog , and it applies to other properties on the monopoly board, is that Angel Islington doesn't exist as a road or a place. There area is called Angel and was named after the Angel Inn which was on the corner of Islington High Street and Pentonville Road. As I came onto the high street I saw a pub on my left, The York and decided to pop in for a pint. Apparently it is famous in the area for its cask ales and premium gins and it also serves breakfasts and seasonal pub food. Price wise it was better than average for London. A decent locals pub.
