Forming London’s Legal Quarter, Holborn is known for its bustling crowds and its prosperous diamond traders who circulate around Hatton Garden. Look a little further back and you’ll find a neighbourhood of families, couples and young professionals who enjoy its proximity to the rest of the city (it’s about halfway between the City and the West End). Great Ormond Street Hospital can also be found nearby, so plenty of doctors and nurses choose to reside here too. Holborn as a residential community is very much still developing – it wasn’t uncommon a few years ago to find everything closed on a weekend – but a flurry of new development is set to solidify more new arrivals in the coming years.

Holborn Leisure & Amenities

Holborn is smack-bang in the middle of Zone 1. And, for the first time, its amenities are beginning to open at weekends for its blossoming residential community. Browse the backstreets of the Rugby Estate for retail and leisure facilities including The People’s Supermarket, which is run by volunteers, and Persephone Books, a brilliant independent bookstore you can easily lose a whole afternoon in.
