Comedians are to peform free shows from the roof of a club in Angel. Aisling Bea and Sam Campbell have been confirmed as headliners at Angel Comedy’s fourth annual street party. It will held outside The Bill Murray in Raleigh Street on Sunday May 25. More acts are yet to be announced but organiser Barry Ferns said he could not give any more clues as to who might appear, beyond saying: “There are lots of very famous and successful people that live in Islington”
‘I’ve been to three or four weddings of people here’
Janet Oparebea is perhaps the borough’s most-loved concierge. This month she won Islington Council’s 2025 Concierge of the Year award, after being nominated by the residents of the estate where she works. Janet has worked for 24 years at the Weston Rise estate in King’s Cross. During this time she has got to know nearly every resident on the estate, except “maybe the new ones that have just come in”. She said: “I’ve seen people grow from when they were babies to being adults now. I’ve gone to three or four of their weddings. I know them all well.”
