Leaflet distribution N7

The N7 postcode covers the area of Holloway. It neighbours on Crouch Hill in the North, Tufnell Park in the West, Highbury in the East and Barnsbury in the South.

It is a very well connected area with many ways of commuting both to the city and even outside the capital. It is within a stone’s throw from King’s Cross St.Pancras which is one of the most important transportation hubs in the UK.

N7 is framed by Tollington Way in the north, Durham Road in the east, Brewery Road in the south and York Way in the west.

Caledonian Road and Holloway Road tube stations are located right in the centre of the postcode. Both of them allow local residents access to the Piccadilly line, which runs through many important cultural and transport hubs in Central London down to Heathrow Airport.

Right on the border of the postcode we will also find Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station providing access to Overground services. There is also the Highbury & Islington station nearby which is on the Victoria Line and Drayton Park Train Station enabling the Great Northern Train services to run through this area.

Most of the locals in N7 are on the affluent side of the London income scale.

Character

N7 is not the greenest postcode since it is relatively central. Paradise Park, Caledonian Park, Market Road Garden and St. Mary Magdalene garden are some of the small green areas that can be found within the N7 borders.

For larger parks one would have to venture out a little further north of the postcode towards Finsbury Park which is within walking distance of some of the more northern parts of N7 or towards Hampstead Heath which is a short bus ride away.

N7 is a home to the Arsenal Football club and the Emirates Stadium. As such it gets the occasional influx of football fans but thanks to how well connected it is this never becomes an issue.

Holloway

Holloway can be a challenging area to run a leaflet distribution campaign in. There are many industrial areas and parks for distributors to navigate amongst. There is also a good number of businesses here, which shouldn’t ideally be targeted with a traditional door to door leaflet drop. And of course some of the larger apartment buildings also contain households that are not accessible.

We believe that having a well thought-out mapping system is important in this area. It is useful to have a good guide when one starts planning or executing a leaflets distribution campaign in Holloway. Knowing which roads should be excluded from deliveries and which areas are not deliverable is helpful both to the client as well as the distributor.

One can find Victorian terraced houses combined with more modern developments here. Tollington Way being a good example of this. Other streets like Durham Road, Brewery Road and Holloway Road have a high number of undeliverable addresses. On the other hand, even busy roads like York Way or Caledonian Road have a number of households with accessible letterboxes.
