Selbys

More beloved neighbourhood store than standalone coffee shop, this Holloway landmark is the sort of place where a proper cuppa sits happily alongside Barbour jackets, Bobbi Brown counters, and carefully curated gift rails. It's unapologetically old-school Islington — a gloriously multi-purpose spot where lingering over a coffee between browsing is not just tolerated but gently encouraged, and the cafe counter feels less like an afterthought and more like the natural heart of the whole operation.
