Our Story

šŸ§” Our Story

Hi! Weā€™re Martina and Mimmo ā€” two Italians who moved to London nearly a decade ago and fell head over heels for Islington.

We live on Essex Road, just a stoneā€™s throw from the Regentā€™s Canal. Youā€™ll often find us out walking or running by the water, grabbing a coffee, or picking up something fresh from the local shops. When we first moved here four years ago, we didnā€™t know much about the area ā€” but now we canā€™t imagine living anywhere else.

Steve Hatt is our go-to fishmonger (no fuss, just great fish), we canā€™t resist the bread from Joline, and Sweet Thursday is our forever pizza spot. In the summer, we love a sunny 6pm pint at The Marquees Tavern in Canonbury or The Old Queens Head on Essex Rd, and a good wander along Upper Street always has everything we need. From Camden Passage to Highbury Fields, this borough just feels like home.

Islington Vibes was born from that feeling ā€” a small way to celebrate the place we love and the community thatā€™s welcomed us so warmly. For every cap we sell,Ā  5% of the profits are donated to Islington Giving, a brilliant local charity supporting people and projects across the borough.

Thanks for stopping by ā€” wherever you are, we hope youā€™re feeling the Islington Vibes too.
