Couldn’t recommend more highly. We needed an EICR for a property we were buying; George was able to attend and provide the report the same day, and even returned to the property to double-check an issue we raised at no extra cost. Very trustworthy, and great service.

BESA did an excellent job repairing my fuse box and completing EICR and PAT tests. The service was great and I will definitely use the guys again. I recommend the company.

George came and performed an EICR certification and repaired a ceiling light. He was respectful and friendly, and explained everything he did to us which was very helpful. The repair was done efficiently and thoroughly, and George came out the day after we contacted him. Would highly recommend!

George replaced our fuse board in our house and completed it to a very high standard at a fair price which included the electrical certificate. Would not hesitate using him again or recommending his services.

I called BESA up on the morning and they had a slot in the evening. They came over and finished the compliance certification with 24 hours. Rates were quite fair will use them again. Great job and will use them again!

John recently came round to replace an old extractor fan in our kitchen. The work was completed skilfully and quickly, and John was friendly and professional throughout. He even contacted us a few days later to check it was working satisfactorily and gave us some useful advice. I would definitely recommend his services!

I have been introduced recently to John by recommendations on our neighbourhood blog and I have been delighted with his work on the flat I rent out and on replacing my kitchen spotlights with long lasting LED bulbs. He is very efficient and his charges are reasonable.

I was so pleased that I went with House Rescue for my solar install. The planning and communication was great and made complete sense, the instal itself was remarkably quick and smooth, Jack hand his team were professional, punctual and very hard working. The handover documents were complete and detailed. Overall an incredibly well organised, efficient and stress free job. I am actually looking forward to having Jack back to install the EV chargers!

Excellent service, yet again. The extraction fan in our bathroom had stopped working then a wall heater did the same thing. Appointment made promptly, electrician turned up on the dot, the price was very reasonable and the job was done to a high standard. The fan was replaced and the heater fault fixed. Frankly it is such a relief to have found this company. Though I’d rather not have anything go wrong with our electrics obviously at least I know that if they do I have a completely trustworthy source for repairs. Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend highly enough - our experience with House Rescue Electrical was brilliant from consultation to installation. The work required was a full rip and replace of the outdoor and garden lights which the team delivered with stunning results. Communication was excellent and we are thrilled with the smart home compatibility. Thank you Jack and team!

Fantastic service and very competitive pricing. Jack and all his team have been amazing. Had an EV charger fitted and the guy who did it was excellent. Extremely careful and had unbelievable attention to detail as well as being an expert electrician. Would highly recommend this company.

I moved in to a house with an existing solar installation. Unfortunately, the installers had decided to focus entirely on commercial installations so were not interested in helping me to get control of the system I’d taken over. I got in touch with a number of companies looking for help. House Rescue were superb – quick replies, excellent advice and friendly service. If I needed to have a new system installed or my existing system serviced, these are the guys I’d go to.

A perfect flat white. The flavour of the coffee was so good - slightly nutty and fruity, a bit sweet without any sugar just milk. Good looking cakes, didn’t try them yet!

Wow I love it here! Excellent coffee, we had a flat white which was chocolatey, smooth and easy to drink! As for the filter, it was naturally processed, and tasted quite fruity, light and sweet! An absolute treat to go down! We also managed to sneak in a pain au suisse! We’ve never heard of it before and it looked divine; it was sweet, chocolatey and crisp on the outside while moist on the inside! There are about 4 tables to sit inside and it’s a such a cute space! The baristas are also so so nice and friendly! Would recommend for sure!

In London, it's often a choice between coffee or food, but rarely both. On this occasion, I opted for coffee (the batch brew was excellent!), but I was pleasantly surprised by the delectable desserts. P.S. Gluten free friendly!

Profile has easily become one of my top three coffee spots in London. It has a really nice atmosphere, the coffees are fantastic and smooth and the food is lovely. We stumbled upon it by chance and decided to give it a go, ordering a Oat milk Matcha, Oat Flat White and a banana loaf to share. All went down a treat, and now I'm looking forward to the next time we're in the area so we can pop in.

Apart from the nicest decaf coffee I have managed to find in London, great pastries and a lovely atmosphere/interior, whoever's doing the hiring for this place needs another 5 stars. The staff is always so nice, calm and welcoming even at the busiest sunny London weekends at peak times. Plus, their dog-friendly policy is not for show, they genuinely seem to enjoy the dogs that come through their doors.

The Urban Café & Bistro is a very nice and cozy place for a delicious and authentic english breakfast! We got a very mindful and polite service from the owner Patrick, tasty coffee, fresh orange juice and relaxing music. Perfect place to stay a little longer (and we did so) (:

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Urban Cafe and Bistro in Highbury, and I can't recommend it enough! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The highlight of my visit was definitely the service. Our waitress, Artemisa, was incredibly helpful and attentive. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering great recommendations and checking in on us regularly. Her friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience. The food was delicious, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. A definite five-star experience!

Really nice cheeseboard with warm bread perfect for sharing, the lamb shank was also lovely with a really nice gravy and great portion size. The tiramisu was hands down one of the best I’ve had – after speaking with the staff I quickly learned its a very authentic Italian recipe and you can tell! The service is also excellent, relaxed vibe and very friendly, attentive staff.

Stumbled into Urban Cafe while we were taking a walk around the area and we are glad we did. Incredibly welcoming team and owner, the space is beautiful and cozy. The food is a 10/10 the quality is amazing. Will definitely be coming back here on our next visit. Just two minutes walk from Highbury & Islington station absolutely recommend.

I can't recommend Jema Electrical (Jeremy) enough. We had 4 electricians in before him, 2 of of which were fully certified. With all due respect to the 4 of them, we through loads of money in the bin and the issue never got sorted, sadly. Jeremy knows his stuff and breaks it down in such an easy way to understand... not to mention he DID sort our electricity out faster than any of others with their time spent in our flat trying. Best electrician we had helping us, hands down. Thank you Jeremy.

I recently contacted Jeremy for an electrical check on a new house, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. He was also very friendly throughout the entire process. His competence and professionalism were evident from the start—he thoroughly inspected every detail and took the time to answer all of my questions in a clear and helpful manner. What stood out most was how quickly he sent over the detailed report; it was in my inbox almost immediately after the inspection was completed. I felt confident in his assessment and appreciated his transparency.

Great service and quality electrician, very efficient and communication was great and service was impeccable. I had ceiling pendants installed and old ones removed, and double plug socket relocated and light switches also installed. All work carried out perfectly and reasonable prices too. Highly recommend Jema electrical.

Prompt, punctual, very friendly and helpful, very efficient and very fair price. Will only use Jema Electrical from now on. Arrived within 45 minutes on a Sunday evening, did the job at the agreed price, and even offered to take a look at another issue while already there at no extra charge.

One of the best coffee places you will find in Islington! The friendliest staff and they make great coffee. The Vietnamese milk coffee is a personal recommendation and especially nice on hot days! Regularly take some bananen bread and it's very tasty. Haven't really tried the sandwich options, but they look really good and considering the attention to quality, I wouldn't be surprised they are more than good. Highly recommend

Came in the evening, so walked into a wine bar rather than a coffee shop. Came for a glass of wine, and stayed for a few. Staff were very friendly and helpful, picking some really great wines for us to try. I got some crab toast that was absolutely gorgeous, honestly the perfect snack. A super nice, small wine bar for a quiet drink.

Decent batch filter and a nice selection of pastries, cookies, etc. Open nice and early, light and airy but with a comforting glow, just what you need with your morning coffee :) If evening's your thing then they have wine too. Perfect for Upper St.

You’d think it was a given when on Upper Street, with the plethora of coffee/bakery shops, that you could get a decent espresso shot… alas no. Too many over-extracted; bitter market blends, only suitable when camouflaged with a gallon of whatever (faux) milk ‘tickles your fancy’, or pumpkin spice - if you must (tiz the season). Fortuitously, whilst having a Monday mooch, I happened upon HG and their wonderful world of speciality roasts & blends. With Simon & Ink (two of the most beautiful people you could ever want to meet), and the rest of the amazing HG team, I have found myself a little oasis, and have been ‘smitten’ ever since. Forno supplies some irresistible Italian pastificio, Simon & Co. make tasty ‘award winning’ sandwiches, and Oksana has curated an amazing selection of wine & grower champagne, if you fancy something a little stronger. With the dulcet tones of Sabrina Carpenter singing “Espresso" in the background creating a cool; chilled, relaxed vibe, in this meticulously put together shop. What more could you want..? Free parking out front? ✅ Wine bar Friday & Saturday nights? ✅ Boom! Love it. Love it. Love it! 🥰

Upping this to 5* after a year since it has really found its pace as a distinctive destination. Coffee remains excellent, and the pastry/sandwich range has improved - with a twist (eg miso and matcha in the cookies, spicy salami in the sandwiches and even small kouign-amann for a lighter take on Breton pastries. Here’s the previous review which still stands, just dialled up! Good coffee from, nice ambience and the coffee/wine/cake combo is quite endearing. Pace is just a little laid-back and disengaged, and it suffers somewhat by comparison with its neighbour. The ‘no laptops’ policy is quite refreshing, even if it’s not contextualised. The layout would soon be cluttered with three homeworkers on a video call, so full marks for making this a more contained experience. Just misses out on that destination/hideaway feel, but could grow into it.

I recently dined at 314 Kitchen &Bar , and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a special celebration. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and I was impressed by the creativity and quality of the food. I started with varieties of starters . Such as Slow -cooked Beef Brisket Taco, warm goat cheese , crispy Chunky Squid which were cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. They offered great wine pairings that complemented our meal beautifully. Overall, 314 Kitchen & Bar exceeded all my expectations, and I can't recommend it enough. I can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes!
