Try the historic London borough, Angel Islington. Angel’s main high street, Upper Street, is far less crowded than the city centre making it a much more pleasant shopping experience.
Cultural enthusiasts will also have plenty to see here – the international Design Museum is within walking distance, so is the ever-popular Borough Market
Bring your friends and drink cocktails out of mugs shaped like the ex Premier’s head or share giant pitchers formed like miniature Leaning Tower of Pisas.
The museum is actually part of the Royal College of Surgeons and the building houses one of the oldest collections of anatomical, pathological and zoological specimens in the country.
