What a festive day at @islingtonsquare on Saturday 15th November! 🎄 Families, friends and even their four-legged visitors came together to enjoy a day full of seasonal fun. 🐾
Visitors enjoyed flavours from @urbanfoodfest Christmas market, from vegan Turkish flatbreads to Lebanese wraps and cinnamon buns, alongside live music, face painting, a dog caricaturist and activities for all ages.
It was great to welcome new tenants to Islington Square - @wagworkslondon, @teegolondon, @swyft_home and @nguyenwahedart added extra magic to the celebrations.
The perfect way to start the Christmas season!

A festive start to the week for some of the team with a trip to the Manchester Christmas Markets. A great way to kick off the working week, fuelled by great company, hot dogs and loaded fries. Ready to bring that seasonal energy back into our projects!
