Angel Islington
Underground Week at the Flea™ starts with the Angel. The Flea called the People's Republic of North London home for two years before moving north to Manchester. I had a somewhat tipsy dinner with two Japanese academics at Pizza Express off Islington Green following an open-bar gathering at a nearby publishing house. They loved London - "Big as Tokyo. Feels like Kyoto." - and were charmed by Islington. This is worker's district? A certain relative of the Flea was not amused...
The station is notable for the longest escalator in the Underground system (60m or 197ft with a vertical rise of 27.5m or 90ft). It is best known for having made an appearance as a character in a Neil Gaiman tale. A high-school friend of the Flea revealed herself to have Jedi powers, and look fab in gold armour, as the Hunter in the television series.
