Local guide
About Canonbury
Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.

Grab a pint at The Snooty Fox
This fantastic little pub can either serve you well for a quiet pint during the week or go by on weekends and you might find yourself staying later than originally anticipated.
Stock up at Newington Green Fruits & Vegetables
This local greengrocer on Newington Green Road is a must go to place if you’re wanting to buy local fruit and veg produce for your stay in London.
Get a sweet treat at Belle Epoque Patisserie
To all the lovers of French food out there, this patisserie will give you the best croissants, pastries, and cakes outside of France. The perfect place for those with a sweet tooth.
Relax in Newington Green Park
Discover this small but beautiful green space in the heart of London. With clean benches, a nice cafe, and a kid-friendly playground, it's the perfect place to sit back, relax, and escape the busy city traffic.
Check what's on at Union Chapel
This gothic revival church is a live event space, working church and a homeless drop-in centre. If there are no events during your stay, this stunning 19th century chapel is still worth a look.
Dine at The Canonbury Tavern
A stylish bar and British gastro pub offering superb food, excellent service, and a spacious outdoor seating area. Enjoy the versatile menu, great selection of wines, and well-crafted shared plates.
Head out for dinner at Perilla
The ingredients may be humble, but the creativity and care that Perilla inject into their dishes makes for a memorable meal. The cuttlefish Bolognese in particular is a surprisingly tasty treat.
Step out for a coffee at The Place Cafe
With arguably the best coffee in Islington right on your doorstep, this locals’ favourite will drag you in for a morning latte and have you coming back for the pastries and ciabattas later in the day.
Feel like Pho? Go to Salvation in Noodles
This trendy Vietnamese restaurant in a quiet spot at the Dalston end of Balls Pond Road is where you come for noodle soup, both hot and cold, served in a hip setting.
Wine and dine at Jolene
With seasonal produce, a changing menu, and a list consisting of natural wines, a night out at Jolene is a formidable chance to try some of London's experimental cuisine.
