North London
North London stretches from trendy Islington (home of Tony Blair and New Labour) with its smart boutiques and organic food, past Highbury, the home of Arsenal FC, up Noth London's main artery, the run down Holloway Road, to the picturesque village of Highgate where Karl Marx lies entombed. Independent Stoke Newington has an alternative feel with good cafes, pubs and bars. North still it follows the A1 road to the North Circular and beyond through leafy 1930's suburbs to Finchley.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
