Holloway’s Heyday – the Oxford Street of the North

Discover how the Nag’s Head area of Holloway Road quickly evolved from a well-to-do middle class suburb to become North London’s go-to shopping district, offering the best selection of well-known brands, impressive independent outlets, beautiful restaurants and top-end entertainment, all accessed by excellent wide roads and frequent rail services.

Hints of Holloway’s history, including The Nag’s Head which give the area its name, are hiding in plain view. Hear about impressive Victorian emporiums with impressive window displays arranged behind curved glass and polished brass, gin palaces, tea rooms and the early labyrinthine department stores, one of which grew to become one of the best-known shops in North London.
