The electrician arrived promptly with tools and materials to hand. Electrician and his colleague dealt with the issue speedily and efficiently and the office ceiling lights were back working within 10 minutes. So speed, efficiency and a competitive price, what more could be asked for.

We have had spotlights and LED lighting fitted by Tom. Very happy with all the work he has done for us. He is extremely efficient and professional. All work was completed within the time he said it would be and he left my home spotless. Would definitely recommend ISL Electrical.

Tom is a wealth of knowledge and a top notch sparky. Really efficient, and a pleasure to have around the house. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a bit of electrical work done, and will definitely be calling for his help again in the future.

I recently hired ISL for some electrical work in my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. The quality of their work was outstanding—everything was completed safely and efficiently. They even went above and beyond by double-checking everything before leaving and offering helpful maintenance tips. Pricing was very fair for the level of expertise they provided. Overall, I highly recommend ISL for any electrical needs. They’re knowledgeable, reliable, and truly care about their customers!

Very pleased with the recent ambience lighting I had installed in my home. Professional, friendly, reliable and finished to a very high standard. From start to finish the installation was stress free and my home has been transformed to exactly what I had envisioned! Highly recommend! Thank you!

A cute cafe that has 2 floors (come in deeper and you can find the stairs that lead you downstairs). I loved their cute latte art🫶🏻 the miso cookie was nice too!

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! 🥰

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.

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.

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) (:

What a wonderful little Bistro. Francesco, the chef, is Italian and the fresh pasta is delicious! The service from Patrick is friendly and knowledgeable. They were still serving freshly cooked food at 9:30 on Sunday evening. Highly recommended!

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.

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!

Patrick provided me with amazing service! I had an emergency outage in my flat, he came out that night instead of going home. He helped me get partial power back on, then returned to diagnose and resolve the issue. He was extremely professional, thorough, and gave exceptional service! I wouldn't go anywhere else for electrical work.

Very efficient service, came after half an hour and resolved the problem swiftly. To update, he even came back with information months later and helped me getting a refund. Highly recommend!

Patrick did an excellent job of replacing several ceiling lights, including helping solve a product defect that I probably would not be able to figure out myself. He was punctual, amiable throughout, and accurate with his quote. I would highly recommend Responsible Electricians.

Patrick attended an emergency call out following a possible fault with electrics. He quickly attended within the hour to the property and checked thoroughly all the electrics. He was very responsive and provided me regular updates throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

Patrick has been great. What should have been a simple extractor fan replacement turned into a saga due to size restrictions, replacement availability and delivery issues. But, Patrick was patient, supportive, responsive and flexible throughout the entire process. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Selv is a cute and small coffee & cake place across the road from St Mary’s Church, by the entrance of Islington Square on Upper Street. Selver and Emre are welcoming and friendly, making some of the best coffees in south/central Islington. The outside seating area is attractive and they even have little blankets to keep warm in colder weather. A little oasis of serenity!

We stopped in as we were looking for somewhere to have a late lunch/ early tea near Kings Cross before our train home. The salad and sandwich was lovely and very fresh. Very good value the total for two Greek salads, a bacon and egg sandwich with a cup of tea and an iced coffee was only £21. The lady there was really nice and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return the next time I am in London near kings cross.

Sandra’s cafe is such a safe space and haven for the Cally road community. It is a family run cafe in a small space with cosy seating and a Colombian flare, serving homemade food and excellent coffee, you’re sure to feel like home here. This is important to note because it is exactly for this reason that it is so highly rated, it is a neighbourhood cafe where people can come and relax and chat to the other regulars or newcomers alike. It is not like the high street cafes without soul. The empanadas and arepas here are some of the best in the area, don’t forget to ask for the salsa that comes with it! I’ve been a loyal customer since I walked in to get an arepa 3 years ago and Sandra and her family have become great friends. I recommend this cafe to anyone who wants good coffee, good food and somewhere where people will remember your name :)

I recently had N1 Electrical work on my clinic, and I’m really impressed with the job they did. I needed to make a lower ground floor space brighter and more open, and they totally nailed it with the lights installed. From the start, the team was super professional and easy to work with. They came up with a solid plan to improve the lighting, and the difference is amazing. The work was done quickly and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend N1 Electrical. If you need a skilled and reliable team of electricians , these are the people to call!

Bobo at N1 Electrical is another-level! He took my full home renovation vision and turned it into reality, exceeding expectations at every turn by bringing his wealth of knowledge and experience in advising what was right and wrong. From my initial dealings with him on, what I can only call a massive project to the smaller follow-up jobs, Bobo delivers exceptional service. It's clear he cares about building relationships, not just making a quick pound. This personal touch is why I keep coming back and confidently recommend N1 Electrical, specifically Bobo for both residential and commercial electrical needs. Quality, reliability, and a genuine approach? Look no further!

Stopped by this little shop to grab some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and the owner was the sweetest and friendliest. As a first-time visitor to London, he made such a great and lasting impression on me. The juice was fantastic too! Highly recommend stopping by for both the delicious juice and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this particular shop deserves one. I come by here to get my morning coffee almost every morning, and I’m never disappointed. Amazing coffee, and Jerry himself is a joy to speak to and starts my morning well. Skip blank street and all these other high street chains, if you want proper coffee, you come to Jerrys. Highly recommend to all!

Jerry’s is the nicest way to start your day, when you are in the Angel neighbourhood. It is opposite the tube station, with lovely coffee, a wholesome barista (who also happens to be the owner) & warmest conversations, to boot. Try their cappuccino with hazelnut flavour, best!

Had a salad bowl (14) with chicken. Tasty, fresh and throughly enjoyed. Good portion size as well and I finished the leftover later. Friendly staff, lovely clean design and ambience which makes for a calming place to sit and eat in if one wants to step away from the office for lunch.
