Looking south across the canal into the basin. Both this and the City Road basin were once hives of industry, but now are home to luxury flats and design studios.

It is fashionable nowadays for bookshops to double as coffee shops - in this case, the Islington branch of Borders, in the N1 shopping centre, incorporates a Starbucks (in spite of the fact that there is another Starbucks a few yards away on Islington High Street!). Two motorbikes are parked outside.

This is the entrance to the N1 shopping centre off Liverpool Road; the centre includes a multi-screen cinema.

This unusual but impressive sculpture stands outside the Liverpool Road entrance to the N1 shopping centre, above a florist's kiosk. It was designed by Wolfgang Buttress and Fiona Heron, inspired by its proximity to The Angel.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Leading into Islington High Street from Upper Street, there are a number of small independent shops here - although Lom Bok is part of a furniture chain. Kimantra offers spa facilities.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Gastro-pub on the corner of Liverpool Road and Tolpuddle Street, taking its name from its proximity to The Angel.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>The Borders bookshop in the N1 shopping centre displays clearance sale posters - the chain is yet another victim of the recession that has hit retailers hard. Sadly, bookshops find it very difficult to compete with on-line competition.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>I have no idea why these strange toy dogs are chained up outside a hairdressing salon, but they make a colourful addition to this Islington street scene.
