It has so much stock its scary and is very impressive. Theres alot to chose from on the menu and once you have found your favourite they change it, which is a good thing really as you will never get bored coming in here.

Charismatic http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/cafes/el-molino-coffee-shop-n77bp.html#r33389 Run by a really charismatic Spanish guy who does a great job of making you feel a valued customer. Another cafe that must have cashed in on Arsenal's move to the Emirates Stadium. Really nice little cafe/deli and close to Holloway Road tube and buses.

Bellissimo http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/italian-restaurants/san-daniele-del-friuli-n52xe.html#r33388 Top notch this place. I'm told players/staff from the football club are customers here which reflects on how good the place is. Great choice of food and always very friendly and welcoming even on matchdays and busy nights when you could forgive them being a bit stressed. Easy walking distance of Arsenal tube station.

Who's that team we call the Arsenal... http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/pubs/the-gunners-n51en.html#r33386 Prefer the 12 Pins in Finsbury Park myself but if you want a pre-match pint and to surround yourself with Arsenal stash on the walls then this is the place for you. You can also hire out the elevated level which I think is a good bit of business on the pub's part. Many a happy afternoons/evenings drinking done in here.

Changing times http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/pubs/the-woodbine-n52ll.html#r33384 This was one of my favourite pre-match pubs when the Arsenal were still playing at the old stadium. Since the move around the corner the Woodbine's clearly decided to try and broaden its market a bit and has done a good job, although it is very dark in here now. Still pop in here just not before games so much anymore.

Not bad but NOT cheap http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/angel/cinemas/vue-n10ps.html#r33382 Good cinema, great location close to Angel tube and the shops in the N1 centre but how on earth can they justify the prices? Even the student rate is extortionate! They do at least make buying the tickets easy with self service machines.

100% surprise free http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/pubs/the-white-swan-n11ry.html#r32145 It's a Wetherspoons. You know how it goes - cheap beer close to its sell by date, good value food that appears within 20 minutes of paying for it and generally pretty souless in the middle of the day. I'm giving this one 3 stars though because it's so much better than the Angel and Glassworks which are both down the road and are both pretty rubbish. Also close to Hi&I station.

Pre match bite http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/highbury/cafes/cafe-azan-n77bp.html#r32137 You can only imagine the effect having 60,000 extra people walking up and down this road has had on local businesses. This is one of the best cafes in the local area - good selection of Sandwiches, coffees etc and within a stones throw of both the Arsenal stadium and Holloway road tube.

Hidden treasure http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/angel/cafes/candid-cafe-ec1v1ny.html#r32131 Really tucked away this one (despite being right next to the tube) and you wouldn't necessarily find it if you weren't looking for it. Defenitely worth a visit though as it's completely different from just about any other cafe. High ceilings and lots of nice art to look at on the walls and does good coffee and cakes as well. Unique.
