Holloway Prison. Built in 1852 on a site used for the burial of cholera victims. The original prison was demolished after 1970.

The gatehouse and lodges and entrance block were copied from Caesar's Tower, Warwick Castle. Its replacement, 1970-7 is by Robert Matthew of Johnson- Marshall & Partners. It has fortified red brick walls round the perimeter, but, within this, there is an informal grouping of red brick blocks round landscaped courts which resemble a hall of residence rather than a prison made up of classrooms, workshops and community buildings to fulfil the Home Office’s 1960s focus on remedial custody for women, There is a low-key entrance and anaemic Neo-Georgian prison officers' flats also from the 1970s.
