Colour transparency; a couple in the Slug and Lettuce, Upper Street, Islington, by Hugh Robertson, 1991

Geoff Jones and Fanny Smith sit at a table in the Slug and Lettuce pub in Upper Street, Islington, London. This is one of many chain pubs, aimed at the younger market, that are homogenising the British bar trade and the high street. Upper Street in Islington is popular with chains such as All Bar One and Hogshead, which have altered the street's nature. There is an array of restaurants, ranging from Thai to tapas to West Indian.
