Located in the London Borough of Islington, Archway is an exciting neighbourhood, where the distinctive architecture of London's Victorian past blends seamlessly with its modern residential developments. Even with its proximity to the city, the area maintains all the best aspects of a suburb through its parks, independent shops, and lively community. Archway’s transport links and location make it a fantastic choice for commuters; yet the neighbourhood also offers a unique lifestyle of its own, from its bars and restaurants to its sports facilities.

Archway’s history dates back to the early 19th century. Its name stems from the old Archway Bridge, connecting Highgate to Crouch End, demolished in 1901. The area was notable for its connection to Highgate Hill, which was along the route of the first motorised cable car in Europe. Perhaps you’ve also heard of Archway as the location where Dick Whittington decided to go back to London upon hearing the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow. Take a quick pit stop to Whittington Hospital, and see Whittington Stone – a monument of Whittington’s cat - in all its glory.
