Holloway, Residential district in North London, United Kingdom
Holloway extends along a three-kilometer stretch of Holloway Road, connecting the neighborhoods of Upper Holloway and Lower Holloway through the Nag's Head commercial area.
The name Holloway first appeared in records from 1307, originating from its position along a deep road that developed from centuries of use by travelers and livestock.
The district houses London Metropolitan University campus, numerous independent shops, and Emirates Stadium, which transformed the local infrastructure when Arsenal Football Club relocated there.
The area contains multiple London Underground stations on Victoria and Piccadilly lines, providing direct connections to central London and Heathrow Airport.
From 1852 until 2016, Holloway contained the largest women's prison in Europe, which held notable inmates including suffragettes during their campaign for voting rights.
