Living in

Holloway is a large neighbourhood in Northern Central London which is more commonly known for being the home of Arsenal football club stadium. With the development of the stadium came lots of money pumped into the community, meaning that the area gradually became gentrified. Within this area you can find both luxury apartments and streets lined with Victorian terraced-style homes, all of which have great aesthetic appeal.

Community

This location is known for attracting a creative group of residents, from Artists and Journalists to Writers and TV executives. Holloway is a place which proudly shows off a lot of talented graffiti artists work, with the likes of Banksy's artwork having made appearances across the area. There isn't huge buzz in Holloway as of yet as there are still a lot of untouched areas in development, when this becomes available there will be more affordable accommodation provided in the neighbourhood and so a larger, more diverse community awaits!
