Seen from Hargrave Park. The reflections of the evening sky in the dark-tinted windows were what first caught my eye - but what a stylish job they've made of refurbishing this Victorian building! Apparently both public and private investment were involved, the intention being to rehabilitate a local landmark and set a new standard in a street which had become rather dowdy: http://www.islington.gov.uk/publicrecords/library/Environmental-protection/Information/Factsheets/2011-2012/(2012-03-03)-Completed-Grant-Project-St-John's-Tavern.pdf I reckon they've done the area proud. My only quibble would be that the place is so stylish (in such a demure sort of way) that I didn't realise it was still a pub - I imagined it had been converted for residential use, or even offices.
