Once a less than desirable suburb of London, Islington has become one of the trendiest areas of the city. Islington lies to the north of the centre and has some of the finest eateries and in bars to be found in the capital. All along Upper Street in Islington, one can find fashionable restaurants and great local pubs with home cooked cuisine. Islington is also home to one of England's best football teams Arsenal who play at nearby Highbury although the team are moving to the newly built Emirates Stadium in 2006. Islington is a fun, happening place and well worth a visit.
