Our North London graphic T-shirts are inspired by the places that make Islington feel familiar: Highbury Station, Camden Passage, Annette Crescent, The Angel Clock Tower, Canonbury Overground and the 73 bus among them.
Several designs feature watercolour artwork by Highbury-born artist Ruth Beck, including familiar local scenes that turn everyday places into something worth noticing again.
Many of the tees are made from substantial cotton fabric with classic unisex fits, giving them an easy, everyday feel. They are for people who know Islington, miss it, grew up around it or simply feel attached to this part of North London.
Whether you are looking for a London graphic T-shirt, an artist-led tee or a heavyweight T-shirt with a local story behind it, each design carries a small piece of the area with it.
