Walking north from the Angle station will bring you to a collection of shops, theaters and markets. You may very well see the Prime Minister or his wife. If you see me tell me what a great site this is.

The coordinates [123 A1] locates the area in the Geographer's AZ London Street Atlas, the small book. That is page 123 and grid A1.

If you stop in London's pubs looking for unique ale from around the county you can save quite a bit of walking time by coming here. The Wenlock Arms has quite a few beer engines dispensing some of the finer English Ales not found elsewhere in London. The North London branch of CAMRA has functions here often, which should be an endorsement of some sort. No pub tour of London is complete without stopping here.

Another fine real ale haven is the Head of Steam (NW1)
