The Archway name derives from the Archway bridge built in part of south Highgate for the minor road between south Highgate and Crouch End, Hornsey in 1896, the predecessor of Hornsey Lane Bridge.
A tunnel was attempted more than once for the Highgate bypass, to join the Great North Road by avoiding the steep Highgate Hill and narrow roads of Highgate village. However, these failed on collapsing. Instead, todays large cutting was recommended by John Rennie and a high, multi arched road bridge across this. The first bridge of 1813 was designed by John Nash and demolished in 1901; its replacement, occasionally colloquially called suicide bridge after a spate of such incidents in the early 20th century, dates from 1897. The minor road over is Hornsey Lane.
Archway has come to designate the smaller than 0.4 square miles catchment of its underground station relative to all other stations. The official parishes and neighbourhoods within its definition are Highgate and Upper Holloway with a very small part of Islington. Upper Holloway has become in modern use generally restricted to the smaller catchment around its railway station and post office.
Seven Bus routes in London commence or end at Archway and the term became mainstream across most social classes after its tube station abandoned its previous names of Highgate and subsequently Highgate Archway and Archway Highgate.
In todays purely religious ecclesiastical parish system, the area is split between Whitehall Park, Upper Holloway and St John the Evangelist, Upper Holloway.
The Archway Road is part of the A1 or Great North Road, one of the original toll roads. From 1813 to 1864, Archway was the site of a toll gate, where travellers had to pay for the next stage of their journey. A plaque on the block of flats at Pauntley Street commemorates the gate.
Highgate Hill, the road from Archway to Highgate village, was the route of the first motorised cable car in Europe operating between 1884 and 1909.
It was at Archway that Dick Whittington heard the Bow Bells ringing and returned to London. There is a statue on Highgate Hill to commemorate this. Pauntley Street takes its name from the village of Pauntley in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, traditionally regarded as Dick Whittingtons birthplace.
