Art Deco Holloway: architectural delights of the 1930s

Holloway’s main shopping area has a wealth of Jazz Age and Streamline Moderne architecture simply hiding in plain view. In the 1930s many new buildings were constructed here, and some well-established companies either updated their façades or rebuilt completely. Visit a cross section of architectural styles from this period – places of entertainment, commerce, manufacture and health, as well as residential developments, both private and LCC. You’ll also see the lights in the form of neon signs which have intriguing stories behind them. The walk lasts just under two hours and ends a few minutes’ walk from Holloway Road station.
