  • A Guide to Holloway Holloway
    PROPERTY AREA GUIDES A GUIDE TO HOLLOWAY HOLLOWAY A GUIDE TO HOLLOWAY This North London neighbourhood spans the N7 and N19 postcode areas. Holloway town centre is based around the Nag’s Head crossroads, where the road meets Parkhurst Road and Seven Sisters Road. Being an inner-city district of Islington, Holloway is a lively residential neighbourhood which has gained significant investment, meaning a great degree of regeneration and gentrification. Holloway is popular for its critically acclaimed graffiti artists and residents who work within the media and press, due to its close links and connections to the rest of the city. Property in Holloway is an attractive alternative for those priced out of Islington and Highgate — especially with the prison shutting. Its redevelopment is seeing lots of new builds and purpose-built blocks of flats spring up throughout the area.
