Archway is not the most salubrious part of London (unless you like kebabs in which case there is 'The Best Kebabs in the UK' on one side of the road and 'The Best Kebabs on the Planet' directly opposite) but it does hide some gems in the rough. Graffitti artist Banksy's 'Hitchhiker stands on one bleak corner, whilst further up the hill is a monument to Dick Whittington's cat, on the spot where the future thrice Mayor of London decided not to give up on London and his quest for his fortune.
