Hi, I’m looking to play some table tennis in Islington – does anyone know of facilities ? I’m not really looking for a club as I just want to play occasionally with a friend. I know about the Sobell Leisure Centre but ideally looking for something closer to Upper St. Thanks LbLers and Happy New Yea...

Which are your favourite London music shops?

There’s a lot of record shops in London, and, as a record geek, I’ve spent time in quite a few of them. Many of these stores are not particularly ergonomic. If, as a nerd, you know exactly what you’re looking for, without the need to speak to the staff or try to listen to the record first then it&#...

Are you hounded by filthy chavs?

I cycle every morning from Dalston to the West End. This route takes me through the back streets of Islington and out onto Roseberry Avenue by Sadlers Wells. Islington has some of the worst examples of little, criminally minded scumbags it has ever been my misfortune to meet. I’ve had rocks thrown at me, ba...

My nearly-15-month-old son is in nursery five days a week and loves it, so much so that come the weekend and it’s time to hang with the old folks, he’s not that impressed. Does anybody have anything in the way of entertainment for a toddler in Islington that goes beyond the confines of the Essex Rd Giraf...

Hello I think gyms are moderately boring but enjoy racquet sports and have always wanted to learn how to play squash. Does anyone know where I might be able to do this? I live in De Beavoir so on the cusp of both Hackney and Islington. I know there are posts about where to play squash before but nothing really...

Im anticipating a fantastic festive season full of booze, food and (most likely) a bulging waistline…so I thought Id try and find a gym with a good mix of classes before the guilt sets in so I can enjoy myself over the holidays… Do you know of any gyms with a good variety of classes – step, comb...

I’ve got an old windup watch that works ok, but slipped it’s casing, so I can’t wind it no more. Anyone know a decent watch repair shop somewhere in the Angel/Highbury parts of Islington?

Requirements are: Either 1 double bedroom (up to about £800 a month) or 2 double bedrooms (up to £1600 a month), unfurnished, spacious, close to the tube and preferably small garden/patio. Alre...

Following on from my recent unintentional reluctance to make enough of an effort to find somwhere to live, I now find myself in a position where it’s actually become more than slightly urgent. People, I need somewhere to live. Not just anywhere mind, it needs to have a relaxed & grown up atmosphere and ...

Hi. I know there are posts out there suggesting rental agencies and very good they are too. but you have to pay them for the service, and they get landlords more rent – and me less beer. However, it doesn’t help me find out where is good and where is bad and where is baderer. Help me – where ...

How long before they forget me?

Last active about 1 year ago 1 response

Around 8 years ago, when I first moved to London didn’t pay my council tax bill for 2 years. I did want to pay, but would have meant I was liable for my lazy-arsed flat mate. I managed to dodge all the bills etc and then I moved before anything happened… But, I am curious though, how long is it before h...

My very good friend has a double room available immediately in her flat in Islington/ King’s Cross – see map. There is a small garden, separate lounge and kitchen, bath, gas stove and enough good vibes to fill a biscuit factory. The major advantage though is the location there are insanely great transpo...

There’s a great little Indian restaurant on Chapel Market, Islington called Rooburoo – great food, interesting menu, friendly staff, really good value for money. It’s about halfway down on the right if you are coming from Angel Tube. Also, just a bit further up on the left is Manze’s pie ...

Last active about 1 year ago 0 responses

Reading Pond’s pizza conversation reminded me of the sad demise of Tartuf in Islington. Tartuf served tartes flambees, a type of thin French pizza from the Alsace region, and very nice they were too. Unfortunately, it’s now a tapas restaurant and has been for some time. Before they shut I remember o...

Lovely drinking in the lovely late afternoon/early evening sunshine

Tomorrow is Friday and I will be very happy indeed with the prospect of a week off work. I need to celebrate this by some drinking in a lovely beer garden, preferably in a pub that is not notorious for being completely heaving at the weekend: a tall order, I know. Oh FCLers, can you recommend anywhere in Islingto...
