+1 on not locking it near the cinema. Mine is parked in Angel during the day but I have parking away from the road right outside our reception and security guards. I wouldn't like to leave it every day generally around Angel.
There are some racks outside Sainsbury's on Liverpool Road. Very high pedestrian levels so you'd have to be very blatant to use an angle grinder or jack outside there, so with decent locks I think you'd be ok. Also most people who lock up there are in Sainsburys and could come out at any time.
Lots of bikes/wheels/saddles are stolen in Angel but that's normally because they are locked up with shit locks or the wheels/saddle are unsecured, you get a lot of skeleton bikes that have been stripped so make sure you secure saddle/wheels too.
