Holloway is north of Islington, and is divided into Lower and Upper Holloway, the latter in the hills above London. The quaint rural feeling, with low stone walls separating plots, and muddy dirt roads have been removed by the steamroller and construction van. Now Lower Holloway is much like Kentish Town or Islington; the burgeoning middle-class has moved out to the ‘country,’ and turned it into the city.
Lower Holloway is poor to middling in wealth, but the majority of residents are skilled labourers from St. Pancras and Holborn. Crime is low, as is police coverage. Upper Holloway may have paved streets and a constant din of building, but there are still larger plots of land, with quaint cottages sitting behind stone walls and underneath trees. Save for the area around the New City Prison, and the City of London Workhouse (the former in Lower Holloway, the latter in Upper), crime is fairly low. Most crimes here are drunkenness and vagrancy; violent crime is virtually unheard of.
