Written into folklore as the birthplace of the swearing on the horns ritual, Highgate and tradition have fitted hand in hand ever since. In the modern day, the area has managed to maintain an olden day village charm tinged with a shade of modernity, giving off the essence of traditional yet not time warped. Blasts from the past are evident at every corner, be it the idyllic scenery of Waterlow Park, the cobbled narrow streets of the Village or the Wrestlers Pub complete with log fires and a relaxing atmosphere.

On Archway Road is the fashionable Boogaloo bar whose music has people flocking from miles around whilst Italian is the main flavour restaurant wise, with Papa Dels offering an interestingly intimate dining experience.
