The A1 passes through the area, meeting Holloway Road, Junction Road and Highgate Hill; the concrete mass of Archway Tower marks the junction. Several bus routes converge here and the road layout shapes local movement. The district contains a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing blocks, with retail parades along Junction Road and Holloway Road serving daily needs.

Railway arches beside the station accommodate small businesses, while shops and occasional markets serve commuters and residents.
