Holloway - Region Background and Development

Holloway is located in North London, England. Once a rural area, it became extremely prosperous with the expansion of London in the second half of the 19th century. Like much of north London, Holloway experienced rapid development in the early 1900s and quickly became an important local shopping centre. The road junction at Nag's Head was so important that it became an important hub for the trolleybus service until it was discontinued in the 1950s. The London Railway and North Eastern Railway opened a station here in the late 19th century, which had a major impact on the residential and commercial development of the neighbourhood.

Like many other areas in Islington, Holloway is now undergoing gentrification, with a number of luxury developments underway on a large stretch between the Arsenal Stadium and Caledonian Road. In addition, the London Borough Council of Islington has appointed a number of improvement projects for the Nag’s Head area over the next ten years. It's also home to Andover's sprawling residential complex.

Many artists and media professionals now live in Holloway, including many journalists and writers working in film and television. It is also a hotspot for many graffiti artists in London.

This area is also home to many celebrities, such as Kaya Scodelario, the actress of Maze Runner, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who both lived in Holloway.
