• Charming, up-market, varied, safe, good nightlife, cultured, self-contained.
• Expensive.

“I lived in or around Angel for two years and it's my favorite part of London. Modern and central, but at the same time charming and homely. Its main street, Upper Street, isn't characterized by the usual high street stores (even though you can still get your fill of Gap, Benetton, Top shop etc at a discreet shopping and cinema complex just off the main street). Instead, it's full of boutiques, underground designer workshops, theatre pubs, markets, alternative cinemas, international restaurants (French, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, Thai, Cuban, Vietnamese, Brazilian, American and of course British - all on one street) and surrounded by charming, quiet, residential areas and the peaceful Regents canal running right through it. The only reason Angel doesn't get a 10 on 10 is that as it has grown in popularity, it has become increasingly expensive to live in this part of town. Hotel prices are also dear, although this is true of pretty much all of central London.”
