Upper Street: Unique restaurants, shops and the UK's first pub theatre

Upper Street is the main thoroughfare in Islington, North London. The street and those off it are filled with high street shops as well as boutiques, making it a fruitful place to go shopping. There are also plentiful bars and restaurants along Upper Street, many of which are independent eateries. In particular, Gallipoli is a small chain of restaurants, all situated on this one street. The Turkish and Lebanese cuisine served here has made it a popular choice for Islington visitors and locals. The UK's first pub theatre was set up on Upper Street in 1970. The King's Head Theatre still puts on performances today in the theatre located at the back of a traditional English pub, needless to say in a fairly informal setting. Other sights and sounds of Islington include a large cinema as well as the Business Design Centre, while reaching Kings Cross and Camden is also incredibly easy from Upper Street.
