"Underground:
There are six tube stations in Islington located on following lines: Piccadilly Line:- Arsenal, Holloway Road and Caledonian Road. Victoria Line:- Highbury and Islington. Northern Line:- Angel. "
There are, of course, ten tube stations in Islington. Ten. The other four being Finsbury Park on the Victoria and Picadilly lines, and Archway, Tufnell Park and Old Street on the Northern Line. Although you probably won't be using Old Street for watching The Arsenal it might come in handy if you want to visit a hipster cereal cafe in Shoreditch and pay £4.50 for a bowl of cornflakes.
Nice picture from Highgate Cemetery, btw. :thumbup:

To be fair the Cityguy has stated there are 6 tube stations in Islington and then appears to have gone on and only named 5 of them.Quote:

Of course. I can't count either. The 10th is Farringdon. Useful for getting to and from Wembley on the Met line for cup finals.Quote:
