Can I get here from Kentish Town without a car?
Kentish Town has something no other station on the High Barnet branch has: a direct National Rail interchange, with Thameslink running through the same building. That makes it genuinely convenient to drop a device with us in the morning and collect it on a Thameslink return. By bus, the 134 runs from Kentish Town Road through Tufnell Park to Archway in about fifteen minutes.
By rail your options are Kentish Town (Northern line, High Barnet branch, and Thameslink) and Kentish Town West (London Overground, Mildmay line). By bus, the 134 head this way. Check before travelling on TfL.
What about parking, coming from Kentish Town?
Fortess Road and Junction Road are narrow, heavily parked and slow, so this is one of those routes where the mileage flatters the journey. You will come through the Archway gyratory and onto Holloway Road on the correct side. Use the Zone P side streets behind the A1; the main road is a red route with no stopping at any time. Controlled hours run Monday to Friday until 6.30pm and Saturday until 1.30pm, free outside those. Kentish Town has both the Northern line and Thameslink, so leaving the car and coming up to Archway on the tube is usually the path of least resistance.
Full detail on Zone P hours, RingGo, the emissions surcharge and Blue Badge rules is on our find us page, and current prices are on Islington Council’s parking pages.
