London neighbourhood walk: Islington 🌳
Lauren Alboini
Available for hire
A request I usually get from visitors who come to London: "I'd love to see a part of the city that is amazing but not full of tourists - where would you recommend?"
My answer: Islington
Nestled in the heart of North London, it's a lovely neighbourhood with so much character and charm - from beautiful period homes to pretty gardens, secret passageways, colourful shops and restaurants, canal boats, antique market stalls and trendy shops. It really has something for everyone.
✨ So this is a great choice if you want a self-guided walking route that showcases the best of this beautiful part of London from a local ✨
It includes:
🤍 A short circular route option
🤍 A longer linear route option
🤍 16-20 points of interest (depending which length you choose)
🤍 8 recommendations for a coffee, drink or light bite on the way
You also get:
📸 My own photos and video that bring this walk to life
✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation
🗺️ An interactive map of all options
🔓 Access to all future updates
And to make your decision easier:
💸 Total value as a custom order: $40
💸 Regular shop price: $8.50

Welcome to my page! 👋🏼
When I was 17, I packed my bags and left everything familiar I had ever known in my hometown of Toronto to move to Switzerland. That year away changed so much for me and had such a meaningful influence on my life, outlook and perspective.
And the travel bug has been with me ever since. So after visiting nearly 50 countries, living in four, and collecting 20 years worth of adventures, lessons and insights, I’m eager to channel all of that into helping others plan their travels.
