By which I mean Islington – London, N1. But those native to the area always call it “The Angel”. A couple of miles up the road, locals still refer to Arsenal tube station as “Gillespie Road”. And these little quirks aren’t confined to North London. People from Greenwich refer to their neighbourhood as “Grinnidge” while Southwark Park Road in Bermondsey is, for some reason, just known as “The Blue”. But “The Angel” is an area I know very well. I got married there and the reception was in a restaurant about 200 yards from Angel tube. I’ve spent my breaks happily re-discovering N1’s countless nooks and crannies. But I come from a different post code, a different borough. I am, in effect, a tourist so I’ll always call The Angel “Islington”.
Been filming in “The Angel” this week.
