Archway Escorts

Archway is an area of north London in the London Borough of Islington.
Prominent buildings in the area include the Whittington hospital, at Highgate Hill, named after Richard Whittington; the Archway Tavern, a notable music venue, where the photograph for the cover of The Kinks' 1971 album Muswell Hillbillies was taken; and the Archway Tower, which forms the most visible landmark in the area. Outside the hospital is a small statue of Whittington's Cat.
Although considered a built-up urban area, Archway has a number of parks and green spaces, no fewer than nine within a mile of the tube station: Archway Park, Hillrise Park, Dartmouth Park, Elthorne Park, Sunnyside Gardens, Waterlow Park, Whittington Park, Foxham Gardens, and Tufnell Park Playing Fields. Various green spaces are also afforded by the Girdlestone, Miranda, Cardinals Way and Elthorne Estates.
Highgate Hill, the road from Archway to Highgate village, was the route of the first cable car to be built in Europe. It operated between 1884 and 1909.
It is said that it was at Archway that Dick Whittington heard the Bow Bells ringing and returned back to London.
