(Picture: Steven Joyce)Islington is one of those London neighbourhoods like Chelsea or Hampstead: somewhere that is a state of mind as much as an actual area. The north London locale is media shorthand for the supposed metropolitan elite whose liberal agenda is to turn the UK into a social democratic utopia, one focaccia at a time.
Say what you like about the chattering classes, but all those talking heads need something to put in their mouths, and ever since Tony Blair and Gordon Brown forged their Granita Pact in 1994, Islington has been one the capital’s most densely populated restaurant districts.
