Local activities in and around Islington, South East
The house is located in leafy Barnsbury with easy walking distance to trendy Upper Street.
Green Spaces: Highbury Fields, with its swimming pool, gym and tennis courts, is only a few minutes walk away. On a sunny day it’s a lovely place to spend some time, perhaps taking in a coffee at the Oasis Café. It’s one of London’s smaller public parks, but the biggest open space in Islington.
Fine food and dining: Upper Street is one of London’s most celebrated dining locations. The restaurants range from high-dining to friendly bistro with a few chains thrown in. You’ll also find plenty of nightlife along Upper Street including clubs and cocktail bars. Try: Ottolenghi (Remy award-winning, seriously stylish), Le Mercury (lovely, long-established pre-restaurant diner) and Gem (charming Kurdish café-style restaurant). But really the possibilities are endless.
Serious shopping: Again, Upper Street is the alternative to the West End. As well as the designer chains (Whistles, Ghost, Toast and Brora) you’ll find bespoke tailors Charlie Allen and brother Joe, the furniture shop TwentyOne and interior shop Aria among many other very individual stores.
Performing arts: From the world-famous Almeida theatre to dance at Sadler’s Wells, from the King’s Head theatre pub to the Hen and Chickens comedy club, the area boasts destination live performance spaces – all within easy walking distance of the house. And for pop and rock, both the Hope and Anchor and The Carling Academy Isligton are close by.
Museums and galleries: London’s national institutions are a tube ride away, but Highbury has a couple of excellent private galleries including the Hart Gallery (contemporary art and ceramics) and the Estorick Collection of modern Italian art.
Sport: Arsenal FC have just moved into their new stadium home. A must if you can get a ticket.
For those here on business The Business Design Centre is only 10 minutes walk away and The City is a short tube ride away.
The Museum of the Order of St John
Take a tour around the ancient Priory of the Knights Hospitallers with its Tudor Gate House, 16th century Church and 12th century Crypt.
Victorian pioneers began a first aid movement here that spread around the globe and continues today
In the Middle Ages warrior monks set out from here to fight for the faith and tend the sick in their hospital in Jerusalem.
Inside the Gate, visitors can see fine collections of silver, furniture and paintings from the Knight's time in Malta during the 16th to 18th centuries. Treasures in the museum include illuminated manuscripts, armour from Rhodes and a canon given by Henry VII.

Carling Academy Islington
The Carling Academy Islington is a music venue in Islington, London. The venue, which forms part of the N1 Centre, was purpose built and opened in September 2002. The original occupant was the short lived Marquee Club, a music and dining venue backed by David A. Stewart of The Eurythmics and club promoter Mark Fuller.
It re-opened in its current form in September 2003 and is the smallest of the three London venues within the Carling Academy Group.
The King's Head Theatre
The King's Head continues to be a hotbed of new and exciting creative talent after more than 35 years in the business.
In 2005, founder Dan Crawford's partner and long-serving associate artistic director, Stephanie Sinclaire, took the helm as Creative Director.

The King's Head has transferred 37 shows to the West End, more than any other Off West End theatre.
Sadler's Wells is a theatre with a strong, dynamic contemporary programme, uniquely dedicated to bringing the very best international and UK dance to London audiences.
From cutting-edge performance to mainstream contemporary dance, tango to tap and flamenco to family shows, the joy of movement and celebration of dance are always at the heart of Sadler's Wells.
The Almeida is a 325 seat theatre in the heart of Islington, North London.
We produce a diverse range of British and international drama with some of the world's best artists, and have developed a reputation as a local theatre with world profile.
The Almeida Theatre Bar offers tasty homemade dishes, a great wine list, fine coffees and a relaxed atmosphere, and in the evening becomes a lively bar for audiences, actors and public alike.
