Great community, with local shops and lovely parks!

In the years we’ve lived here, I’ve found that more and more families are moving into the area. There are more people walking in the parks and more people with pets. With this, new restaurants and shops have moved in and we’ve enjoyed the new variety.

Transport

We are situated between 4 stations. Arsenal Station is the closest serving the Piccadilly line. This is a quick > 20 min journey into central London. There is also the Drayton Park station with Great Northern Line service to Old Street in > 15. Finsbury Park station is about a 10minute walk and has Victoria line, Piccadilly line and national rail services. All very convenient!

Community

There are many couples and families around this area. It tends to be quite quiet and definitely has a neighborhood vibe. I would also say that most people own in our specific area own but we know that there are several renting options.

Amenities

I love the range of local shops. From Godfrey’s butcher, to Bourne’s fishmonger, to La fromagerie, to Miss Pems florist and the list goes on. There not only is everything you could need but such great local flare. There are also a selection of amazing restaurants whether you’re looking for a cafe or a nice dinner. We love Beam, Top Cuvée, Finks, and Westerns Laundry. I do wish there were a few more quality pubs around. My 2 favorite are; the Bank of Friendship. They have a wide selection of craft beer and gin and have a great garden in the back. However, they don’t serve food. The Highbury Barn is a great pub serving food from some of the local shops. There are several parks in the area as well. My favorites are Clissold Park and Highbury Fields. Both are a great place to grab a coffee and take a walk with your dog, picnic with friends or go for a run/workout. All in all it’s a great neighborhood with many local shops with anything you could need.

I'm so glad I moved to this area

Many people think you can't have a sense of community in London but this area has taught me that this is wrong. If you put the effort in, you can build great relationships with your neighbours and local community. It's such a joy to have local friends, especially during Covid.

Transport

There are a huge amount of bus options available in the area, considering the fact we have several important roads running through. There are also a good amount of nightbus routes running through. We also have overground links and the Piccadilly line. Victoria line and Northern line are not far as well. There are always a good range of hireable bikes littering the street! I have never had a problem with the transport in the area.

Community

I don't drive but when drivers visit, I don't usually have any difficulty finding them a spot. I can use council vouchers for visitors in cars. Bins are collected weekly and we have the option to separate food waste as well as recycling and general rubbish. On my road there is a mix of families and shared houses. There are the right amount of people that have lived in the area for ages to give the place a community feeling. I take part in some volunteer activities in my community and I've found everyone to be very welcoming.

Amenities

Holloway is a great area for shops and other amenities. On Seven Sisters Road there is a massive Morrisons with a car park. There is also the Nags Head market where there are lots of grocers and a halal butcher and fishmonger. Further along the street there is a Cypriot grocer which does a really good range of vegetables and fruit at good prices. At the junction of Hornsey Road there is Hua Run, a Chinese supermarket which crams a large range of goods into a small space. Nags Head market and the corner of Hornsey and Seven Sisters are also home to two food stall areas. These mini restaurants offer takeaway and some have seating. They're honestly such amazing quality, value and range of cuisines. I was so delighted when I discovered them. Aside from food, Seven Sisters Road Holloway also has a lot of other useful shops. You can buy textiles and craft supplies, get your phone fixed and buy various cables, get a deal on furniture at the BHS shop, and find cheap things at Poundland. Every weekend a large car boot sale is held in a car park just off the Seven Sisters Road and it's such fun wandering around. The pubs are generally fine, but the Swimmer is a great pub with some outside space and board games. I suppose two drawbacks of the area are the actual Seven Sisters Road and Holloway Road. They are very busy arterial roads. On the other hand though, you can catch a bus to pretty much anywhere! There are lots of little parks scattered about but there isn't a big open space as far as I'm aware. All in all I think this area has everything you'd need and more.

Mostly students. Too many students and too many single mothers

Transport

Transport is amazing. Stoke Newington not too far away. But at the end of the day, it's Holloway innit so you get what you get. Buses are too packed though so that's always an issue

Community

Council very helpful with all other amenities and people round here are very liberal. We have a healthy mix of people or all various ages and ethnicities living on my street

Amenities

There are decent shops around and the high street round these parts is okay. I particularly like the dentists however they can be a bit rude sometimes
