Things to do in Islington and Angel this week
Updated Thursday 15 October. 15 listings, checked this morning.
Islington is centred on Upper Street, a long run of pubs, restaurants and small theatres between Angel and Highbury Corner, with antiques and cafés along Camden Passage.
It’s good for theatre, with several pub and fringe theatres as well as larger stages, and for gigs in unusual venues. Sadler’s Wells is close to Angel, and Regent’s Canal runs under Angel through the Islington Tunnel.
