Rubbing shoulders with the other half in Islington

In between the coffee shops and the bistros and amongst some of the more better off in society I found these.....enjoy!


Who'd have thought all the thrills of Las Vegas could be found in North London



I don't just like the name of the shop but also the shop's concept. High streets are packed with shops such as Zebedee's that sell things that people don't need on a day to day basis yet they still manage to stay a float!. Kudos!


What I've discovered wandering around north London is that shops like to add 'Etc' at the end of their name for some reason, This shop has decided to go one better and drop any other words at the beginning of its name


Because of the shop's name, I walked away questioning what the shops policies where. Do they only dry clean clothes from America?, Do they only cater for American customers?, questions questions questions!



The centre of all Kebabs turns out to be on Upper Street in Islington....


Followed by the Empire of kebabs!, Its a good job hadn't been at a pub drinking all day and required a kebab because I'd be torn between the two of them!


Nothing like naming a bistro cafe after one of the biggest military blunders in British history


and again......


and again......


This shop implies that if there is ever a flood of biblical proportion, All that will be left is toys and board games, Which in my opinion isn't a bad thing at all


A restaurant possibly owned by a narcissist  


A clothes shop with an owner who has some sort of childish sense of humour about his own erections


You know you're in a posh area when the local Topps Tiles is a boutique!


I'd like to think if Marx,Lenin and Stalin came to present day London, This is where they'd meet and compile lists of enemies of the state to send to gulags. I can't tell you how nice the egg and chips are in this place but I will go there one day


'The Blue Legume' a delightful play on words


I peered through the window of this bar and was disappointed to not see a single wolf drinking in there  



I didn't realise the government deemed it necessary to establish a ministry of waxing but as it turns out they did and here is it's headquarters 


A bold statement
