Hidden in plain sight on the edges of Hampstead Heath lies Highgate Road. Don’t let its unassuming name fool you. This street marks a boundary, not just geographically, but historically. Highgate Road sits between two of London’s boroughs, Camden and Haringey, mirroring the ancient parish lines of St Pancras and Hornsey. This area, steeped in history, was once a vital route for travelers heading north from the City. Imagine the clatter of hooves and the rumble of wagon wheels as drovers herded their livestock down this very path towards the bustling markets. Why not take a moment to envision the tollgate that once stood here, the very “high gate” that gave this road its name? This gate marked the entrance to the Bishop of London’s hunting estate, a sprawling woodland haven in the midst of what was then open countryside. Although the hunters and their quarry have long since vanished, the echoes of Highgate Road’s past linger on, whispering tales of a London long gone.
