Ten reasons to go to Holloway Road, N7
Poor old Holloway. It will never get called quaint, picturesque, village-y or charming. Why? Because its high street is a dual carriageway. And not just any...
A long-underappreciated neck of the woods, Holloway has a fair amount of pubs to choose from, is a stone's throw from the trendy buzz of Upper Street to the south and the olde-worlde splendour of Highgate to the north, and has four stations along its stretch of main road (if you count Archway tube right at the top). There's a good mix of grocery, takeaway, hardware, bike and vintage clothes shops here, with the sense of community at its best on match days, when Arsenal fans fill every last neighbouring boozer with red shirts and good-natured bantz.
