How to get there:

Bus/train: The nearest underground station to Holloway is Caledonian Road on the Piccadilly line, just one stop away from King's Cross station. Any bus can be taken from the bus stop immediately outside of Caledonian Road Station and will drop passengers directly outside of the prison.

From the North: Visitors should follow the A1 signposted 'City' (from the M1 to junction 2 follow the A1/A41 again signposted 'City'). Holloway Road is in fact the A1. After passing under the Archway bridge, still on the A1/Holloway Road, the prison is about a mile away and visitors should look out for the Odeon cinema on the right by a traffic light controlled junction. Go straight over these lights and straight over the next set, until another set of lights where there is a right hand filter lane. Turn right here into Camden road and proceed to the traffic lights at the top of the hill, turn right at these lights and the prison gate is directly opposite.

From the South: Visitors should follow signposts from Marylebone Road/Euston Road for Camden and The North. On Camden High Street there is a public house named 'The World's End' where the High Street divides. Visitors should bear right and follow the signposts for Holloway and The North. The prison is approx 1.5 miles from Camden, follow Camden Road up the hill and there is a set of traffic lights just over the brow. There is a garage at the junction of Parkhurst Road/Camden Road and the 'Holloway Castle' public house is on the right hand side. The prison main gate is on the left opposite the garage.

Holloway prison does not have car parking facilities for visitors.
