Summer 2: Islington and Angel

At the end of the last episode we had arrived at Highbury and Islington station. For this part of the journey, we head south from this station down Upper Street finally arriving at Angel station (featuring the longest escalator in the London Underground network). Between these two stations, we take in the sights along Upper Street which is essentially the heart of Islington. Churches and parks, old shops and public houses, and traffic and people. We even walk through the antiques shopping 'mall' not far from the tube station. Islington is a very pleasant part of London and well worth a visit. Follow the journey using your desired online mapping service such as Google or Live maps, search for 'Islington' and look for Upper Street noting Highbury and Islington station at its north end. I walked south on the west side of the road down to Angel station at the bottom end of Upper Street.
