Holloway
Islington, London
Holloway sits in the west of Islington around the Holloway Road, a Victorian ward defined by the former Holloway Prison site, Whittington Park and the Arsenal stadium's wider catchment. The whole ward falls inside conservation area. The six listed buildings include the Grade II* Clock Tower at Caledonian Park (the surviving tower of the 1855 Metropolitan Cattle Market by James Bunstone Bunning) and the Grade II Hungerford School, eighteen outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and transport is very good with the Piccadilly and Victoria lines at Holloway Road and Caledonian Road plus Overground at Upper Holloway. The food and retail scene along the main road supports a dense local economy. The negatives are real: green space is almost absent at four and a half hectares total with Caledonian Park the largest named park, air quality scores poorly because of the Holloway Road corridor, and safety sits well below the borough median with most of it driven by the main-road activity rather than side-street residential risk.
