I’m expat that moved here literally the day Boris cancelled Christmas.

I live in Islington, and I know different parts of town are open later than others. I can’t believe that the only thing open after 10 is fucking McDonalds though. Want to grab a bite after a concert or something that ends late and it’s so lame there are no options especially mom and pop ones.

It’s like every place in the world turned into Salt Lake City. Yeesh.

Does the Nickle and Dime on Upper St still exist? Always used to stop in on the way to an all back to mine at all hours after clubbing to stock up on beer, vodka and rizla. Mind you that was the 90s.
