Food scene
A selection of my favourite local places within walking distance.
Highbury, Angel and Camden, all a short bus ride away also have a vibrant restaurant scene (check out Trullo, The Nook and Ottolenghi). For places in Central London, just jump on the Piccadilly line at Arsenal or Holloway Road and go to Soho or Knightsbridge.
