Islington: The 'off-Broadway' of London

It's Sunday 4th November and the sun is out so we are going for a walk. We reach into our city walks of London pack given to us by Karen and Dick Aldis before we left for England and decide on this one. We take the tube to Angel and start out on a nice Sunday stroll looking at small theatres. This first one is mostly comedy showings.
This one is called the Almeida Theatre which is written about: 'always a showcase of today's more challenging playwrights'. It has been restored. Ed and I both decided it is plain compared to the other buildings. This one, the Kings Head Theatre is more impressive when standing in front of it than the picture shows. It has seen the likes of Kenneth Branagh on its stage.

This is the Little Angel Puppet Theatre tucked away in an alleyway and is the home of British puppetry.

Hen and Chickens Theatre looks interesting! Did you guys celebrate Firework Day in England today? (Nov. 5)
