Black Rooster Angel

You're on Chapel Market in Islington, that slightly chaotic stretch where vintage shops rub shoulders with proper neighbourhood spots. Black Rooster slots right in—no pretence, just seriously good peri-peri chicken that's been properly marinated and grilled to order. The queues at lunchtime tell you everything you need to know. Order the chicken with a cold drink, grab a seat if you can find one, and watch the market life happen outside. It's the kind of place that makes you forget you're eating fast food.
