Plonk! Crazy-golf, Islington
A great place to ‘get your golf on’ is at our Islington crazy-golf course that is set within the fabulous Victoria Tavern. Don’t let looks deceive you – our very crafty seven-hole course will throw a lot of challenges your way as you work your way around our cleverly engineered course.
You can also enjoy plenty of other fun attractions that are set out around the first floor of the pub, and you don’t need to go far for a nice slice of pizza from the pub’s very own pizza kitchen.

Escape to the country (sort of)
Even though Islington is a London borough, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a bit of open green space on a sunny day! Head over to Highbury Fields for a bit of sunbathing or a lovely picnic and a game of rounders. There are also hidden garden squares, such as Lonsdale Square, to head to for a bit of fresh air and nature.
