One day I took the tube to Islington for the first time. So refreshing to find an area so close to the hub of London, which hasn't been bombarded by mass chains, but where the streets were lined with small vintage shops, gorgeous cafés and eateries as well as some rather well-known names, such as Toast, Abigail Ahern (glimpsed in one of the photos) and After Noah. I must say that the Toast shop was rather modest compared to the gorgeousness of the catalogues.

Tein ensimmäistä kertaa metroretken Islingtoniin. Ihan virkistävää, että noinkin läheltä keskustaa löytyy vielä alue, jossa ei joka nurkalta löydy massaketjuja, vaan lähinnä pieniä vintage-liikkeitä, kivan näköisiä kahviloita ja ruokapaikkoja sekä suht tunnettuja hienouksia, kuten Toast, kuvissakin vilahtava Abigail Ahern ja After Noah. Toastin kauppa oli tosin varsin vaatimaton kuvastoihin verrattuna.
