"Blackstock Road, the 1km street running from Finsbury Park to Highbury, has been crowned one of Time Out's coolest streets in the world for 2025. It ranked 23rd in the global list, between cool corridors in Buenos Aires and Cape Town. From storied bars to old-school pubs, cult takeaways to hipster stores, wholesome family-run caffs to shiny award-winning restaurants, Blackstock truly has it all."
"Rosie gave special mentions to unassuming Uyghur restaurant , hole-in-the-wall Kurdish takeaway Baban's Naan , Ethiopian deli , late-night Jewish spot The Happening Bagel Bakery and Bib Gourmand-winning Thai joint Farang - places that let you travel the globe without stepping foot outside of N4. Other Time Out favourites on Blackstock Road include ethical food store Nourished Communities, cosy Irish pub The Woodbine, secondhand charity bookshop House of Hodge and the 'a little bit goth, a little bit art deco' T Bird sign."
