Interesting and unusual building with a long and fascinating history which you can read about outside. Never been inside and not sure how to but either way, if you’re in the area it’s worth checking out.

Islington's oldest building - the tower dates back to Henry VIII who granted the land to the Canon of the monastery, hence Canon's Burgh.

Nice park, BBQ's here in the summer. There is a big slide, climbing frame and play area for children at the bottom of the park next to the leisure centre. A great place to come relax with friends.

Peaceful tree lined park. Nice to relax in summer. Lovely, large Plain trees to ground your spirit.

A shady oasis of calm in North London, located within a lovely residential area, but you need to pick your time as it gets very busy at weekends and on warm days. Good place to exercise, nice play area for children, next to a leisure centre (gym/pool - both being redeveloped right now). Tennis courts and football courts at top end. A small, out of the way open air cafe. Plenty of outlets locally for refreshment.

It's not somewhere you go on and sit, but still, it's nicer to have some green than just a busy roundabout it used to be.

Attractive new public space that used to be a main road.

At the moment the space is mainly only being used on the outer edge where there is a low wall which is popular for people to sit on to have something to eat, chat and watch the bustling Highbury Corner area with it's busy station and plenty to do. Unfortunately there are some people who are using the grassed area as somewhere to throw their rubbish. It's a real shame as we have waited a very long time for all the works around the old roundabout to be finally completed so it would be sad for it to be spoilt by people littering. Though I did not understand the need to spend a fortune changing the traffic system to two ways instead of a roundabout, at least there is now a green space that can be enjoyed by all.

The permanent collection changes regularly, which by itself makes it worth visiting at least once a year. Exhibitions are usually small (a couple for large rooms), but well curated. Bonus: the food at the café is lovely, as is the seating area in the garden.

Friendly, well organised modest gallery on a few floors in Islington. Based on an Italian collection it has a strong Futurist feature. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is a pleasing shop. Handy for bus and tube.

A gorgeous wee gallery and so calm and quiet. Not LOADS to see but a nice collection (even for someone who doesn't totally understand modern art cafe!) And cafe looks gorgeous.

I have seen comedy here but only recently went for a gig and now appreciate the beauty of the venue. The lighting trickling around the architecture is entertainment enough for the night but the place draws quality musicians who want to give the venue it's due respect and deliver their best. It's a special place and you can sense everyone knows it.

Great venue for a more intimate kind of gig. They also do weddings and general events. Church benches for seating so don’t expect to be super comfy especially if you have long legs but the music will make it worth it.

Fab venue. Good acoustics, nice size (intimate yet big enough to get a crowd buzz), great views from upstairs. Architecture is wonderful.
