I have been lucky enough to drive up and down the Holoway Road a few times recently. Lucky? Holloway Road in rush hour? Yes! Daniel Libeskind's London Metropolitan University building still delivers, interests and excites. Its relationship with Terra Firma is the key, its very unusual, even disorientating, like the structure is the result of tectonic movement. And there is more, D & A Binder (No.101) sells amazing old shop fittings and cabinets further down the road, and in between the two is Ooh La La (No.143), which is always worth a nose. You could also try and get a glimpse of the weird, (but actually quite successful) redevelopment of Highbury Stadium.
