It’s been 274 days since Baldwins the butcher closed, I have tried to find a decent replacement and after a lot of eating I can say that Tony’s at 22 Crouch Hill is the place to go, directly opposite Max’s Sandwich Shop (different post at a later date).
He is a great chap local to the area and a great butcher, have had chops, steak, rolled shoulder of pork, rib of beef, to name but a few.
A great butchers and one of a few we have left in the area. Freemans in Crouch End is also good but Tony’s is a bit closer to where I live.

Tony's shop used to be much closer to us, on West Green Road. He is good, and has been going for a long time.
Freeman’s - seconded.
I tend to also go to the Brazilian butcher on West Green Road who are proper craftsmen - make make their own sausages are full of ideas, advice and generally nice bunch. I often also go to James Elliott on Essex Road when I venture down to Islington. Baldwin’s is truly a sad loss for all the reasons flagged on this forum. Umut Meat is just a retail outlet of a wholesaler and is pretty soulless.
I was on a similar mission. Baldwins were great for game. I was saddened to see a classic looking butcher and game specialist recently closed in crouch end. Quail and partridge are available in Yasar Halim on green lanes. Not sure where to go for venison or pork in the area. Brazilians have a special pork cut for BBQ, I know that much.
