The 10 Best Nightlife in Islington, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Have been to Angel comedy at the Camden head and the Bill Murray a bunch of times now and it's always great! Gteat crowd, great comics, and always lots of laughs. Couldn't recommend it more for a fun night out in London.

We went to the later showing & had a great time! Went with partner & parents, was so funny! Can’t believe it’s free. If you’re visiting London or live here, you must check it out for the best comedians the city has to offer.

Beer shop and tasting room, selling beers from independent breweries that we love and enjoy.
Reviewed By LoganTO87 - Aurora, Canada
It's very rare that I find a locale like this. A good craft beer bar is hard to find. This combines the best qualities of all. Decent prices, good selection, and knowledgeable staff. The moment I walked in here I knew I was a regular. Owen and Claire have started something special here. Much of craft beer had fallen knto overly commercialised beer companies. To see a small family group who seem to care this much about good beer is reassuring. Whether you are looking for good beer, wanting to learn about beer, or just interested in finding out a bit more, this Holloway shop is for you. To be honest... I imagine being here most nights now, so if you. see a random Canadian at the bar, say hi.

Had a brilliant experience at this gaming bar. The staff were super friendly, especially Lem who was super enthusiastic and talked us through the COVID-19 procedures and all the games available to us. The pizzas are delicious with great drinks too including the Parma violet and gin shot of the day! Only other comment is that the games available were quite limited. Would love to see more variety of games including Tekken and NBA Live.

A multicultural music venue. Scheduled to close in early 2005.
Reviewed By davebellmk
We normally visit to see our grandsons' Nativity or other such performances, but finally made it to catch a live concert by a performer at the other end of the age scale in the legendary Judy Collins. The acoustics are superb; it's no wonder musicians and singers love to play and perform here. The queue outside half an hour before show-time was long but don't worry; there's lots of room in the auditorium, and we had our pick of viewpoints. It's easier to get an interval refreshment here than in most theatres, and on a non-show day it's a pleasant place for a break. A must-see for anyone visiting London and interested in music venues and architecture.

8. The Four Sisters Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 63 reviews
The Four Sisters Bar is a dark and inviting Victorian neighbourhood drinking den located on Canonbury Lane, a short stroll from Highbury & Islington Station and nestled nicely between Angel and Islington boroughs. The interior is made up of dark wooden paneling and Chesterfield sofas, bringing a Dickensian feel to Islington; it retains much of its historic charm, having been the watering hole of Islington native Charlie Chaplin and novelist George Orwell in past incarnations. The Four Sisters Bar has been a constant in the local areas cocktail scene for ten years, appealing to those who want a drink unlike any they've had before, a mouth watering Old Fashioned or a crisp Martini. Having had input from consultant's from some of London's top bars, The Four Sisters Bar is the perfect place for a relaxed cocktail, organic wine or cold beer. Cocktail bars in Islington never fail to attract a cool crowd and this venue is unpretentious in its grittiness and down to earth aesthetic,
