Despite living in Islington for more than eight years, I am still continually surprised by the vast array of talented and creative people who live here. Every month I have the glorious job of meeting interesting and motivating residents, famous and non-famous, who equally make my job easy by helping make the area the lively and vibrant place it is.

This month has been no exception when it comes to meeting remarkable locals. Long-term resident and charming thespian, Sam West talks passionately to me about local politics and why almost two decades after moving to the area he is still a fan of Islington. Currently starring in the West End show Enron, Sam reveals why he believes audiences are fl ooding to see the show based around the unusual subject of the fi nancial world and what it took for him to prepare for his role as Jeffery Skilling, CEO of Enron.

Another inspirational local we chat to this month in My Designer Life, is Tallat Mukhtar, Creative Director of Tiles Etc. Having given up a lucrative job in the City, he boldly followed his passion into the interior design world and set up shop selling exclusive tiles in North London. Following suit for the girls, we meet fi ve inspirational business women who reveal how they changed their lives by setting up their own businesses in the local area and how they have made themselves into truly successful entrepreneurs.

If all this doesnt inspire you and youre still in need of cheering up, then head to the Fox and Anchor in Smithfi eld and pull up a bar stool for a chat with the ever sociable pub landlord, Scott Malaugh. Just like Cheers, where everybody knows your name, Scott explains how his friendly and inviting boozer has brought back the concept of a true English pub. However, if a cosy tavern is not your thing but you still want a homely feel, then take Carrie Mitchells advice and head to Islingtons newest Italian, La Caf Davina.

Enjoy and be inspired!

CRISIS SERVICES FOR ISLINGTONNearly a million women in North London will benefit from a new rape crisis centre which will be set up by the end of 2010, following a commitment by Islington Council.

Islington and Westminster councils will receive 370,000 from the Mayor of London to set up the services with the support of five other north London councils.

Sam West has been an Islington resident for the best part of 20 years; still living in the same house that he first moved into all those years ago and in the same road as his best friend from university. I grew up in South London in Wandsworth; I wanted to leave my parents behind but not too far behind, smiles Sam. I actually live in a road that I discovered because my then girlfriends best friend lived in it; it wasnt until I got to university that I realised that my own best friend lived in the same road and still does.

A committed socialist, the actor-director admits to admiring both of the local Labour MPs, Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry and still loves the area despite the changes in the borough over the last two decades. Nevertheless, he tends to avoid the south end of Angel on Saturday night. Instead, he can been found most Sundays at Gem on Upper Street sharing a bottle of wine with his partner, playwright Laura Wade and discussing the days bird watching events (a favourite hobby of the couples). He regrets however that a lot of the useful and charming shops have been replaced by generic high street chains. There used to be shops that used to sell milk and tea towels. But now you have shops which sell things such as church

candles at incredibly expensive prices which is lovely if you have the money and sometimes I do; sometimes as an actor you do quite well and sometimes you dont and its then when Islington looks a bit like an insult. As much as I do like the area, sometimes it tries too hard, observes Sam. I like it as a place from which to live and work in London. I have no complaints and I really dont ever want to move but that doesnt stop me from thinking that sometimes Islington should just give less of a f*@k and not take itself so seriously.

Hailing from theatre royalty his father is Timothy West, his mother Prunella Scales Sam admits that when he first started out he felt the pressure to live up to the precedent set my his parents. However, with a career spanning over 20 years Sam admits that he now feels established enough in his own right not to feel any demands to prove himself. After giving up the idea of studying physics and becoming an astrophysicist I didnt have the maths he followed in his parents footsteps. His big break came, when aged 26, he

got the part of Leonard Bast in the Merchant Ivory film adaptation of E.M. Fosters novel Howards End, opposite Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter and Anthony Hopkins. To date, Sam has carved out a career that has combined classical theatre (including the title roles in Richard II and Hamlet) with prestigious movies (Iris, Jane Eyre, Notting Hill and Van Helsing) as well as TV and radio.

Currently starring in the hit West End show Enron, there has been much comment on how this character is a far cry from Sams usual Merchant Ivory and damaged toff roles. In terms of telly, I probably played a few too many posh people but in terms of film there is only really one thing that people have seen me in and that is Howards End, in which I played

a middle class clerk. But because it is a Merchant Ivory film people go, Oh you were playing the posh suit. Well, no actually I was playing a South London clerk. And now I am playing an American everyone is offering me American roles its very strange, exclaims Sam in his deep, smooth voice which becomes slightly over-enunciated when he becomes irritated. People seem very shocked to hear that I can do an American accent; I dont know why, I am actor, of course I can. I knew I could do one, I put it on my CV, did they think I was lying? I have learnt that you have to take roles sometimes to show people what you can do. As an actor you have an idea of what you can do but actually that is much less important then what other people think you can.

interview 13

I wouldnt recommend being versatile as a passport to success. It makes life much more interesting but it generally doesnt make you successful, explains the actor who doesnt consider himself famous enough to be able to choose work and still worries about where the next job will come from, despite the fact he has worked constantly for the last ten years. In order to be successful you have to do one thing and not mind people asking you to do it forever. But I dont like that, I dont think it is interesting and I think it is a slight contradiction of what it means to be an actor.

In Enron, Sam plays the part of Jeffrey Skilling, the CEO of the giant US corporation that went bankrupt in 2001 as the result of an accounting fraud and who is presently three years into a 24 year jail sentence. Skilling is the Machiavellian charmer from Illinois who had never run a company before Enron but discovered that as long as the share price stayed high, investors would continue to pump money into the company.

Despite their difference in politics and general way of thinking, Sam spent a lot of time learning about the world of finance and understanding the jargon behind derivatives. He watched footage of Skilling and has recordings of his voice on his iPod to help him understand what made the man. The only way to play someone who is so different from you and make the character believable is by not wanting to play him as a bastard. I have empathy for him even though I dont agree with his view of the world. I dont think Capitalism is a sustainable system, I think it is exploitative, unfair and unaccountable and I hate it but you cant play someone like you think they are wrong, that is commentating and that is not allowed, says Sam. You cant play a Nazi like you think Nazis are bad, you cant play a paedophile like paedophiles are disgusting and you cant play a serial killer like you think they are wrong. However, I do think there is a great moral dimension to this; I wouldnt play a Nazi in a film that says Nazism is good but to play

a person to the hilt is absolutely my job.

It is fascinating playing someone so far removed from my character because the devil gets the best tunes. Skilling is not exactly a baddie and I think it is important to say he thought he was doing the right thing but then so did Hitler, laughs Sam. You have to try and understand why these

people do the things they do in order to make sure it doesnt happen again.

The show has been extended due to popular demand and for Sam its the greatest part he has ever played, with the exception of Hamlet, of course! The success of the play, Sam believes, is down to clever writing from talented playwright, Lucy Prebble and has a lot to do with the timing. But with the unusual backdrop of the financial world were there initial worries that people may be put off? I think when we first started we had our doubts about a play that seemed to be based

on fairly complicated accountancy but thanks to our brilliantly talented 28 year old writer, who has stood by her commandment to herself, which is: Thou shalt not bore, the play is thrilling, explains Sam. He adds that he chose the play partly because he wanted to work with Lucy and partly because it is a stonking part. I think part of the success is down to the timing due to the current (economic) climate we are in. A lot of people dont understand this subject and simply because of that they wanted to come and see it because they felt they should understand. One of the reasons we are in this mess is because a lot of people were allowed to talk this impenetrable language freely which we didnt understand and it is up to us to understand what they are doing.

Sam recalls a list of ambitions that at the start of his career he set out to achieve and it seems that he has ticked them all off. I wanted to play Hamlet, appear in Doctor Who, learn to juggle five balls and read the shipping forecast and I have done all that well, I only read the shipping forecast in a play although I would like to do it properly on Radio 4! says Sam. Luckily for us there is still plenty he still wants to do and along with Sam, we wait with baited breath to find out what his next role will be. n

Enron is at the Noel Coward Theatre, London W1 until 7 August. Samuel West will be appearing as Jeffrey Skilling until 8 May. 0844 482 5140, www.enrontheplay.com

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

STOKE NEWINGTON

S toke Newington is an up-and-coming area of north London located in the heart of Hackney think refurbished Victorian four/five storey town-houses, stylish wine bars and designer boutiques. An ever-changing area, Stoke Newington unites a diverse heritage and bohemian atmosphere, with a range of exciting local events, popular restaurants, quirky shops, and regular markets. Full of character, Church Street and the wider area of Stoke Newington is one of the most diverse areas of north London, boasting a multi-cultural community including many Irish, Jewish, Asian, Turkish, and Afro-Caribbean groups.

Although the area surrounding Church Street has become a heavily populated part of suburban London (mainly young professionals and young families), Stoke Newington has managed to maintain a homely, friendly and village-like atmosphere. Impressively for North London, there are still several open spaces within walking distance of Church Street, which makes it a popular choice for those who want a bit of

CHURCH STREET

everything whilst still remaining in Central London.Retaining the feel of an old village high street,

Church Street is the central hub of the area, serving as a popular meeting place. The street gets its name from two churches the first is a modest Tudor building (St. Marys) and the second a Victorian Gothic creation (Abney Park). The church of St. Mary is set in a picturesque churchyard complete with beautiful eighteenth century tombstones, whilst Abney Park Cemetery attracts visitors to the dramatic Victorian Gothic graveyard, edged with mature woodland and rich in wildlife. Notably, the Abney Park Cemetery took the place of Bunhill Fields as a burial ground for dissenters and non-conformists and if you look carefully, you can find the grave of General Booth (founder of the Salvation Army) here.

Other open spaces close to Church Street include Clissold Park and Victoria Park, both popular with families and sports clubs. When the sun comes out, residents and visitors alike head to Clissold Park which boasts a green 54-acre expanse complete with tennis courts, duck ponds, an enclosure of deer (again, surprising for London) and a delightful pavilion cafe. Also, close by to Clissold Park is the recently renovated Stoke Newington Town Hall. Beautifully restored back to its former glory, the hall which

localfocus 17

STOKE NEWINGTON

is on Church Street, offers two unique spaces for community use and private hire.

WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK:Rich in culture, diversity and personality, Church Street boasts a wonderful collection of international restaurants and grocers lining both Church Street and the High Street. Dont miss Rasa, which is the original branch of Londons mini-chain of Keralan restaurants. The locals love it and its a great place to find cheap vegetarian dishes and home-made breads.

For those looking to go a little up-market try Alistairs Brasserie. This newly opened restaurant serves modern British cuisine cooked and prepared by a Michelin-starred chef; excellent, mouth-watering food, great value, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you are a fan of Sushi and enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine, then head to Oishiii for first class food. Offering a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, Oishiii not only offers great food but also the facilities to hire out a private Karaoke room for special events and celebrations. Celebrating their first birthday this month, Oishii is already well-established as a local gem.

Vegetarians are well catered for on Church Street, with a choice of eateries, but most popular is the Blue Legume. Part cafe, part restaurant The Blue Legume serves excellent veggie food . Although some meat has now appeared on the menu, the

veggie favourites are still on offer, including the ever-popular aubergines stuffed with goats cheese.

Of course, no London street is complete without a couple of friendly local pubs. One of our favourites is the Rose & Crown, which is one of Church Streets most well-established (and recently refurbished) local pubs. The present pub was built in the 1930s and has remained true to its roots with original glass and wood panelling. Go for a Rose & Crown Sunday roast, which is a firm Stoke Newington favourite.

WHAT TO DO AND SEE:Church Street is well known in north London for its excellent shopping; wander between stylish boutiques, eccentric craft shops and local delicatessens/grocers. One of the most popular attractions is the Saturday Stoke Newington Farmers Market on Church Street. All the produce at the market is organic, biodynamic or wild the first farmers market in the UK to ensure this. It really is a local market, as all produce is sold by the people who grew, reared or produced it themselves and who come from within 100 miles of Hackney. Participating farms include Stocks Farm in Essex, Ripple Farm and Perrycourt Farm, both in Kent, who bring greenhouse salad leaves, aubergines and peppers, organically farmed trout, lamb and chicken. For excellent quality food (and a small victory over the super market giants) this is one of the most enjoyable and social features of Church Street.

Independent shops on Church Street include local favourites such as Early Bird; a family run business which offers an array of cards and gifts. Askew is the first shop you will stumble upon when heading up Church Street from Islington; and you will always be welcomed with open arms by the friendly and helpful staff while looking for the perfect pair of glasses or sunglasses. If you are looking to indulge in a bit of me time then Shine Holistic is the ideal independent spa that can help you will all of your pampering needs.

WHILE YOU ARE THERE:Dont leave Church Street without looking out for a blue plaque that marks the house of Daniel Defoe (about half way down Church Street). Defoe is probably Stoke Newingtons most famous export, as the author of Robinson Crusoe, A Journal of the Plague Year and Moll Flanders. For book-lovers, Defoes tombstone is on display in Stoke Newington Library.

A PASSION FOR PILATES I first became interested in pilates through years of teaching art & design and developing bad posture says Lesley ONeill, founder of her own pilates practice covering Islington and the City. I have now been teaching Body Control Pilates for four years, beginners to advanced, both in small groups and private sessions. Each and every client is offered a tailored service, covering their specific requirements.

Teaching one of the most popular methods of exercise, Lesley ensures that all her students benefit from a complete Pilates exercise routine; rehabilitation after injury; solutions for work place issues; and general well being with sound movement patterns.

My passion for pilates has developed from a lifelong interest in exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. pilates for me is the definitive exercise technique; it strengthens, tones and lengthens the body whilst concentrating and challenging the mind. It is a truly holistic approach to exercise and my clients are able to choose from classes in my own studio, in their home or at their workplace.For more information visit www.lesleyoneillpilates.com

Jenny White finds the perfect way to get a pert bottom and a flat stomach in her lunch hour

On yOur bike

Hypoxi Facts

Testing, using the Weighing and Measuring Comparatives on 1,530 women, proved that women lose three times more on their thighs when using Hypoxi-Therapy, compared to normal fat-burning training and exercise.

Testing also indicated that regular use of Hypoxi results in an average fat reduction of one trouser size per month.

In many cases the skin in the target areas start to look up to ten years younger.

if like me, you have a gym membership where the only activity taking place is the money leaving your bank account every month, then Hypoxi-Therapy may be just thing to help shift that stubborn weight. A revolutionary fat burning treatment, Hypoxi helps eliminates cellulite and burns fat through a combination of gentle exercise and targeted low atmospheric pressure.

Developed by top sports scientist Dr Norbert Egger in the 90s, Hypoxi has grown into one of the most successful and effective cellulite and fat burning treatments to date. However, if I am honest, I found this hard to believe when I turned up to my first session at the City Point Club and saw the Hypoxi Vacuum machine an exercise bike within a very bizarre looking pod. But once the concept had been explained it all made sense. The idea behind the bike

After only six sessions i hAd lost inches of my thighs

And buttocks And clothes felt A lot loser result!

and the vacuum chamber is that the low atmospheric pressure experienced in the pod increases the blood supply and encourages the circulation to the cellulite and fat prone areas of the hips, thighs and buttocks. In more scientific terms; the application of low pressure draws the blood into the dermal layer and fatty tissues and boosts circulation. This allows blood enriched with nutrients and oxygen to enter the problem areas and effectively transport toxins and burnt fatty acids away from that region genius!

Each client has their own personalised programme and heart rate and skin temperature are constantly monitored throughout the treatment to ensure you are on the right track to achieving the desired results. A course of 12 treatments are recommended and each session is only 30 minutes long.

After only a couple of sessions I was hooked. The level of cycling is only enough to get your heart rate up so there is no profuse sweating, making it perfect to fit into you work lunch hour and you can read a book or watch TV while your doing it. As long as you stick to the simple rules of no carbohydrates three hours before and after each session, eat healthy portion-size meals and no alcohol on the days you do

the treatment, then you are guaranteed to see results within weeks. After only six sessions I had lost inches of my thighs and buttocks and clothes felt a lot loser result!

What I really loved about Hypoxi was that it fitted easily into my daily routine and I was able to see results quickly, which is always a great motivation to keep going. I also found that it made think about the food I was eating; as I reached for that packet of Mini Eggs, I would think about all that fat to going straight to my thighs and it acted as the perfect incentive to put the chocolate down. So, it seems that I have discovered the perfect solution to great legs, breaking down cellulite and getting the flat stomach I have always wanted, in a short space of time. n

pains, so Nick Cullen (fellow consultant foot

and ankle surgeon) and I appreciate that by

the time a runner comes through our doors

symptoms are reasonably serious.

Although there are no specific running injuries,

problems are generally due to the effects of

repetitive high impact activity on the bones,

joints and soft tissues. Injuries can be linked

to pathological pain (due to acute or chronic

injury), and mechanical pain (due to pushing

physical tolerance).

LGN Wellbeing to make sure runners get the

advice and treatment they need.

In runners, one of the common

problem areas is the Achilles tendon.

MostpatientsknowitstheirAchilles

but have little idea of the processes

affecting the tendon or that a lot of

options exist before any operation

need be considered.

The two main chronic problems it suffers

are either a superficial inflammation

(tendonitis) or deeper seated wear and

tearofthetendon(tendonosis).

If it is wear and tear, then the tendon

tends to have a discreet and tender

swelling, with normal and pain-free

tendon above and below it. In either

case the 75% of people respond to

either a course of physiotherapy or

temporary immobilisation in an Aircast boot.

It can take six weeks before symptoms start to

improve.Ifitsimportanttohaveaslittletime

away from sport as possible, then ultrasound-

guidedinjectionsofsteroid(orapatients

Another common complaint is the stress

fracture. Eventually pain is severe enough to

prevent running, and once a stress fracture has

been diagnosed, a period of rest is advised and

with a pneumatic walking boot. Often surgery

is not needed but the optimal management of

stress fractures is always prevention.

There are many simple things that can be

done to prevent injury, such as joining a

running club or enrolling the help of an

experienced runner to set realistic targets and

Jenny White discovers that the return of the traditional British pub comes with a few contemporary surprises

Scott Malaugh is the kind of guy that if you were to spend hours mulling over a pint or two you would want him as company. Animated, sociable and with humorous tales to share, the Belfast born pub landlord of the Fox and Anchor, is everything that a good landlord should be. A pig trotters throw from Smithfield Market, the Fox and Anchor has all the hallmarks of a Victorian pub patterned tiles adorning the porch, heavy mahogany doors, etched glass, a brass and mahogany bar and leather banquettes lining one wall. Black and white photos of burly butches from the local meat market decorate the walls

and like any true traditional London pub the bar is topped with jars of pickled eggs.

A product of the Malmaison hotel empire, the Fox and Anchor sees the company branching out and doing their own take on a British pub. But, make no mistake, this pub may be owned by a chain but it oozes character and with the help of Scott and his staff, it has become a popular tavern in the area serving simple British food and real ales. There has been a pub here for over 110 years; I have been here since I opened it with the Malmaison group in November 2007. They told me what they wanted and I made it happen with their help, explains Scott, who is dressed in a smart matching waistcoat and trouser suit, with a vibrant turquoise

tie. The concept is really, without sounding too corny, the return of the British pub which has got lost in recent years. It is difficult to find somewhere that sells ales; instead you often find that pubs will only have one type of ale on tap. Most of the market is saturated with brands like Fosters, Stella, Carling and you walk in and the staff dont know what they are selling because the brand is what they are selling. Britain to me is like what France is to wine, there is so much out there that you can explore but big breweries have killed the trade off. So the concept is really to reinvent the British pub, bring a bit of country living to the city.

A radical departure from the boutique hotel, The Fox and Anchor also boasts six bedrooms above the old fashioned pub. With burnished copper baths and fabric headboards, each room, named after nearby areas, make a distinct reference to their historic Victorian roots while at the same time are unashamedly contemporary. During the week the rooms are occupied by city workers and at weekends its the ideal romantic retreat. And with a pub which has a licence to serve thirsty and hungry traders from 6am, this unique waterhole really does cater for

everyone. We get a mix of boozers and those who want to eat at lunchtime, the majority are city workers at that time and then in the afternoon we get a lot of tourists and randoms off the street looking for a pint, chuckles Scott. There are a big mix of foodies and those who appreciate their drink, be it whisky or ale and in the evening we gets locals from Islington and the surrounding environs.

Having grown up working in his fathers Murphys Law pub in Miami, Scott discovered a natural ability to get along with punters and know how to create the ideal balance between quality service and providing the perfect home away from home for customers. He gave up a marketing and advertising degree at the University of Iowa after the first year because he felt there was nothing they could teach him and he moved back home to Belfast, where his career really took off. Working for fine-dining restaurant The Four Winds and then Malmasion group, Scott trained as a sommelier and has applied the top quality service of his past employment to the pub. Peoples expectations especially in the City are no different from a fine-dining restaurant and the level of service and standards is just as high but the atmosphere is all about having fun, smiles Scott. People go out to places like the Fox and Anchor to have fun so why cant you have fun while providing the service?

So, after many years in the business, what is the key to running a successful pub in an area full of great restaurants and bars? This pub works because it is all about having the right person in charge of it; it is about personality which is something that I have, as do all my staff who help me make this place what it is, explains Scott. However, as well as personality you do need a product to show off. You can be the biggest show off in the world but if you have nothing

PLAYING IT COOLRESTAURANT REVIEW

Carrie Mitchell discovers that Upper Streets newest Italian restaurant is a lot less trendy than it looks - in a very good way

A s soon as I laid eyes on Caf la Divina, I thought I had it sussed. With a shiny moped parked in the window, vintage movie posters adorning the walls, and plump leather couches, Islingtons newest Italian had the understated cool look down to a T. Which is why, when I stepped inside, I was expecting the same decidedly modern approach from the staff, the menu, and the atmosphere. Mercifully, I was wrong.

Immediately welcomed with a warm smile by the friendly young Italian whod be our waiter for the evening, we were shown to our table and presented with the menu. This is when I realised the place was no young pretender. There were four pages to that menu four pages full of rustic Italian dishes, all cooked to authentic family recipes without an ounce of pretension anywhere in sight. Everything sounded wonderful from the Crespolina (rolled crepes stuffed with spinach and ricotta) to the Scallopine (thin slices of veal baked with cheese and asparagus) - choosing my meal was not going to be easy. While I hummed and hawed over whether to go for pizza, pasta, or something from the grill; my dining companion kept things simple, ordering a classic Caprese salad and the Toscana pizza.

Decision finally reached, we got stuck into the Pinot Grigio and munched on olives and chunks of tasty Italian bread with balsamic and olive oil. Next to us, a party had arrived and as they took their seats at a long table decorated with balloons and streamers, we were pleased to note that the chatter coming from their direction was most definitely

accented in Italian a family of actual Italians in an Italian restaurant This could only be a good sign.

And of course it was. My starter of beef Carpaccio was fresh, tasty, and generously portioned with wafer thin slices of silky meat topped with rocket, parmesan, and a scattering of artichokes. Across the table, the Caprese was met with similar noises of approval and looked fantastic with ruby red tomatoes alongside thick slices of buffalo mozzarella. The main event was similarly well received a steaming bowl of linguine marinara for myself and a huge stonebaked pizza topped with Parma ham, fresh rocket leaves, and parmesan for my guest. Tucking into my pasta, I was pleased to discover all manner of fresh seafood in there fleshy prawns, huge mussels, and meaty chunks of fish all adding bite and flavour to the simple tomato sauce. It was so good I even managed to resist asking my companion for a slice of pizza.

Afterwards, we made a brave attempt at dessert but were finally defeated by the chocolate chip cheesecake and tiramisu as we began the inevitable slide into a carb coma. It was time to lie horizontal on the couch and recover from our overindulgencebut not before I arranged to have the leftover pizza boxed up to take with me. Well you never know, I could be peckish again by suppertime!
