Archway
Archway is a district inside the London Borough of Islington in inner north London. It is situated around the A1 and centred on Archway Tower and tube station. Archway has seven small parks and 2 large parks.
The name comes from the Archway bridge which was constructed in part of south Highgate for the minor road between south Highgate and Crouch End, Hornsey, in 1896. It was attempted multiple times to make a tunnel for the Highgate bypass, to join the Great North Road by avoiding the steep Highgate Hill and Highgate village's narrow roads. Unfortunately, these tunnels failed on collapsing.
Archway designates the smaller than 0.4 square miles catchment of its underground station relative to all other stations. The official parishes and neighbourhoods inside its definition are Highgate and Upper Holloway with a modest part of Islington. In modern times, Upper Holloway is typically restricted to the smaller catchment around its own railway station and post office.
Seven bus routes end or start at Archway and the term became popular amongst most Londoners when its tube station abandoned the earlier name of Highgate. The Archway Road is a part of the A1 or Great North Road, which is among the original toll roads. From 1813-1864, Archway was the location of a toll gate. A plaque on the block of flats at 1 Pauntley Street commemorates the gate.
