Characterful Architecture and Modern Living

Archway caters to a range of property preferences, reflecting its evolving identity:

  • Victorian and Edwardian Terraces: Perfect for those seeking period charm, many houses retain original fireplaces and bay windows.

  • Arts and Music Scene: Live music venues and local arts collectives contribute to a creative, buzzing atmosphere that sets Archway apart from neighbouring suburbs.
  • Green Spaces: Venture up the hill toward Highgate for a stroll around Waterlow Park or to soak in panoramic city views from nearby Parliament Hill.

These elements come together to give Archway a distinctly quirky character that celebrates individuality and community spirit.
