When not presenting on television shows like BBC's The One Show, Kate McIntyre runs London’s cheekiest card and gift shop in Islington's Camden Passage, N1 – a hidden lane away from the usual bustle of Upper Street, teeming with smaller independent traders. In this series, Kate talks with local Angel retailers about the challenges to keep going through these troubled times. Great listening for anyone who runs a small business looking for ideas and encouragement and for those locked down in Islington and surrounding boroughs who care about the future of the independent traders that bring life and much colour to the Angel neighbourhood.
