About

Lower Holloway sits along Holloway Road in the London Borough of Islington, centred on the road that forms part of the historic Great North Road out of the city. The area includes Holloway Road Underground station on the Piccadilly line and the Nag’s Head shopping strip and market. Streets away from the main road contain Victorian terraced housing and post-war council blocks. Local shops, cafes, charity outlets and small grocers line the high street, serving a mix of long-standing traders and newer businesses.

Community facilities include a handful of primary schools, community centres and small green spaces that break the street pattern. Bus routes along Holloway Road link the area to other parts of north London, while the shopping centre and weekly market provide regular footfall for independent retailers. The flat terraces step down toward the junction with Seven Sisters Road, where shopfronts give way to side streets of housing, reflecting the way the neighbourhood grew along the road over the 19th and 20th centuries.
