An estate or a prison?

Published: 27 July, 2012

• ANY resident of York Way estate in Islington who makes their way to the top of Primrose Hill, to learn from its new interpretation panel, will be surprised and possibly a little upset to see their home labeled “HM Prison Holloway”.

The clocktower of the old Metropolitan Cattle Market can be seen behind the flats and could be taken to be part of the building but there is still not the remotest similarity to Holloway prison.

Someone’s random guess, we must assume.

Maybe we should be thankful they got St Paul’s and The Shard the right way round.
