Angel ¦ (11/11) ¦ Love Your London ¦ Elton John's suicide attempt & The Arsenal ¦ Highbury Islington

In this, the last of our episodes on Angel Islington, Tristán White and Sharon Crawford headed north, to Highbury & Islington. They spoke a bit about the area around the station, found the very spot where Elton John tried to commit suicide, checked out the London Metropolitan University (London Met) buildings on Holloway Road, and then visited the area around the Emirates Stadium, home of the Arsenal. They spoke to a couple of fans as well as staff, visited the location of the former stadium (Highbury) and then checked out the delightful Gillespie Park behind the Islington Ecology Centre. And do play the video to the end (please), as the episode ends with a special song performed by Tristán that sums up the whole adventure in Angel Islington!

Amazing your luck to happen upon Elton’s old place and be let in. I love the way you recorded the piano in the closing song, “Angels.”"
