The Holloway Road - Photographs by James Loveday

"Having lived in a wide variety of neighbourhoods in both London and New York I never thought I'd be shocked by a place here on my doorstep, 10 minutes away from the hospital I was born in in north London. 

But Holloway - and Holloway Road, the main road which defines it - is a very unusual place. It is bordered by very well to do areas on nearly all sides yet retains a very working class and a very English atmosphere which is a rarity for London. 

There is more to it than that though. The story goes that there was a mental hospital which closed down in Holloway in the 1970s and most of the patients ended up being released into this community. It would go a long way to explain the density of eccentric, strange and fantastic people you see here all day, every day. 

I've been living here for two years now and all these pictures have been shot over that time. This place lends itself so well to street photography because you see so many people who have clearly got their own peculiar take on life. From the Titanic themed cafe to Holloway's dated focal point - the Nag's Head Shopping Centre - to the huge echoing pub in the old cinema which sells cheap pints from 8am - the businesses here can be pretty bizarre too. 

Holloway Road is about two miles long bookended by the Whittington hospital and 'Suicide Bridge' to the north and by Highbury Corner, an enormous roundabout to the south. 

It hasn't kept pace with most of it's London neighbours, but is all the better for it." - James Loveday
