This evening I met Tigger’s bus as it reached the Angel clock tower and we travelled together to Upper Street.

Entrance to Islington Square

We passed the old post office now redeveloped under the rather silly name of “Islington Square” and I took a photo of one of the entrances which was ablaze with lights though there was hardly anyone about.

Illuminated trees

Islington’s Christmas street lights are being installed which includes lighting up all the trees.

Gallipoli Again

We were having supper out and chose this Turkish restaurant. There used to be three “Gallipolis” but our favourite one has closed down so tonight we came to Gallipoli Again.

The decor is quite colourful with many lights of different Turkish designs though not quite so pretty as our closed favourite.

Ceiling lights

This highly decorative set of ceiling lights was directly above our table.

Wall lights

This arrangement of lamps lit the wall beside our table.

Selection of mezze

Once again I was disappointed that lentil soup was not on the menu. We chose a selection of dishes to share from the mezze menu (all safely vegetarian).

Main entrance “Islington Square”

Afterwards, we risked life and limb crossing a busy Upper Street to reach the bus stop. From here I took a quick photo of the illuminated balls hanging outside the main entrance to “Islington Square”.

Close-up of illuminated trees

I just had time before our bus arrived to take a closer photo of illuminated trees outside St Mary’s Church. The bus whisked us to our home stop, concluding this evening’s brief outing.
