The Albion
Islington
We can think of few more idyllic city activities than drinking
and dining among the flowers in the hanging garden at this N1
beauty. Something of a local institution, the convivial spot might
be at the top of many people’s summer hit list, but remains no less
desirable for it. Great food and good cocktails make it a mainstay
for discerning sun-worshippers looking for an al fresco base
camp.
