Angel Islington is nice to sit and eat in the day, plenty of cafe's and restaurant/food places.

There are alot more interesting places; alot more pleasant places; and alot better places to eat and drink in London. I would not advise a tourist with limited time to go there in preference to other places.

Oh, I don't know, depends on the tourist's interests.
With both The Red Lion and The King's Head pub theatres close to hand, plus Sadlers Wells as well, it's not too badly-off for culture.
Camden Passage for antiques.
Not only that but Upper Street is rammed with restaurants and pubs for all budgets and tastes, all the way up to the triangle.

Keep well away from District 11.

We don't want home county bell-ends like you pervading our vicinity.

should be at least two travelling fans, maybe three !

must win game for both teams and hopefully the Cats will have some players back

do you need any useful french phrases WZ ?

like...'Wos your name darlin' or,

'I know a great little boozer round the corner, fancy a pint ma cherie ?'


one hint for all travellers to France - forget it until september as the roads heading south are jammed !
