Pizza Express on Islington Green holds a special place in *Hitchhiker’s Guide* history. During the late 1970s, Douglas Adams lived nearby and was a frequent visitor to this branch — often seen writing, sketching notes, or procrastinating over a margherita and a glass of wine.

It became a kind of unofficial *Hitchhiker’s* office: a comfortable spot with good lighting, friendly staff, and no shortage of pizza. Friends recall that Adams would sometimes bring pages of the radio scripts or early drafts of the novels here, editing and rewriting between bites. In true Adams fashion, the idea that the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything might have been pondered over dough and tomato sauce feels perfectly fitting.
