London / In Between: Islington & Angel, City, South Bank
Picture
I know. In between sounds weird, but I didn't find a better description. From the north (Islington and Angel) towards the south via the City of London we cross the Thames to the South Bank, the areas between the East End and the West End.

Islington and Angel

Islington and Angel are probably not so well known by tourists, except for Camden Passage which contains a number of Hipster cafés and shops and on some days a flee market. Not to forget: two pubs with daily stand-up comedy.

City of London

I always found City of London a strange name for a place that is located in the heart of London, the city. It is the primary financial and business district and contains a mixture of old architecture with modern sky scrapers.

South Bank

One of the largest sky scrapers in London can be found on the South Bank, south of the City of London: The Shard. Going to the top of the Shard is rather expensive, but offers an amazing view over London. 

Very close to the Shard is the Borough Market, a daily food market; and the theatre Shakespeare's Globe.
