What is the driving route from Highbury?
From Highbury Corner take Holloway Road (A1) north and stay on the A1 through the Nag’s Head and Upper Holloway. The shop is on the right before Archway.
It is a single straight run up the A1, but the Nag’s Head junction and the bus lanes make it slower than the distance suggests.
The full address is 647 Holloway Road, London N19 5SE. You can open the route in Google Maps. Read the parking section below before you set off, because the road outside is a red route.
What is the best public transport route from Highbury?
Highbury customers have the awkward combination of excellent connections and no direct tube to Archway. Highbury & Islington carries the Victoria line, two Overground lines and Great Northern, but none of them come this way. The 43 from Highbury Corner runs the length of Holloway Road to us without a change, which is why most people from N5 take it rather than driving the two miles up.
Nearest stations: Highbury & Islington (Victoria line, London Overground Mildmay and Windrush lines, and Great Northern), Arsenal (Piccadilly line) and Drayton Park (Great Northern). Buses towards Archway: the 4 and 43. Live times and disruption notices are on the TfL journey planner.
Where do I leave the car?
It is a single straight run up the A1, but it is bus-laned for much of the way and the Nag’s Head junction is slow, so allow more than the mileage suggests. You arrive on the correct side. Park in the Zone P side streets behind Holloway Road, not on the main road, which is a red route with no stopping at any time. Controlled hours are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm and Saturday 8.30am to 1.30pm. Outside those hours it is generally free. If you are starting near Highbury Corner, the 43 runs the whole way and drops you close to the door for far less than a two-hour bay.
The complete rundown of zone hours, payment, the emissions surcharge and Blue Badge provision sits on our find us page. Live prices come from Islington Council.
