Holloway Road

            Holloway Road is a station on the London Underground. It is on the Piccadilly Line between Caledonian Road and Arsenal stations.

The station opened on 15 December 1906.

The station was constructed by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway and was built with two lift shafts, but only one was ever used for lifts. The second shaft was the site of an experimental spiral escalator which was built by the American inventor of escalators, Jesse W. Reno. The experiment was not successful and was never used by the public. In the 1990s, remains of the escalator equipment were excavated from the base of the lift shaft. These are stored at the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton. 

The station is adjacent to the site of the former Holloway and Caledonian Road railway station.
