Towpath

Watching the canal traffic drift by from a waterside table is part of the daily ritual at this beloved Islington haunt. Mornings are dedicated to excellent coffee and healthy, veg-forward plates, but the atmosphere grows noticeably more vibrant as the day wears on. By evening, it transforms into a buzzy destination for cold beer, natural wine, and robust British small plates, perfectly bridging the gap between casual cafe and neighbourhood institution.
