Just west of Hoxton, on the eastern end of the affluent, yuppie borough of Islington, is this small, restored Georgian mansion with an extraordinary collection of early-20th-century Italian art. The works were acquired by Eric Estorick, an American collector and sociologist, who was particularly keen on Italian Futurists; there are works by Balla, Boccioni, and Severini, among others. The downstairs Esotorick Caffe is a good place to grab a bite, especially in summer when you can sit outdoors.
