Albermarle Mansions on the Holloway Road N7

Victorian buildings on Holloway Road
Fragments of pre-1894 buildings on the Holloway Road corner with Windsor Road

Holloway is one of the most densely populated parts of London, usually so full of people and traffic, that you barely have a moment to lift your eyes up to the buildings.

I hope the following sketches will give you a flavour of some of the interesting buildings that can be seen. This is the first of a series of drawings on the Holloway Road – to see the drawing in full, please visit my website www.drawingthestreet.co.uk

Now if you want to read a little about some of the more colourful lives of past inhabitants of this building,  I recommend you take a look at the Hornsey Road Blogspot where there are several posts about lives lived to the full on the Holloway Road!

Thanks for reading.
