Highgate Local Information

Highgate is a suburb of London and is divided between three boroughs – Camden (south and west), Islington (south and east) and Haringey (north). It is one of the more affluent suburbs in London and The Highgate Society is charged with protecting its character. The legendary Dick Turpin has been associated with Highgate and other famous people to be linked with Highgate include T.S. Eliot and Samuel Coleridge – the latter living in Highgate to recover from his opium addiction. He stayed on living out his life in Highgate.

Drive your car hire past the red brick buildings of the Highgate School and view the Victorian architecture. Have a wander through the adjoining Chapel of Saint Michael where Coleridge is buried. The school itself has been on the same site since it was built with the permission of Queen Elizabeth I in 1565.

During the 1600s, the 1700s and the 1800s, visitors to Highgate were given the ‘Swearing on the Horns’ – an oath that basically swore people to a life of merriment and drinking. It was all a joke of course, but had the set-up of a proper society with an oath and fees (usually beer). People who had been sworn in then were awarded the title “Freeman of Highgate”. Participating pubs carried horns over their doors. Drive around in your car hire today, and see if any still exist!
