Junction Road (designated the A400) is a road in north London between Archway tube station (at the top of Holloway Road) and Tufnell Park tube station (where the A400 continues southwards as Fortress Road).

Some pubs that are located on the road are The Lion, gastropub St. Johns, the Oak & Pastor, and Irish pub the Boston Arms. There is also a bar, comedy and music venue, The Hideaway.

Junction Road railway station stood on the corner of Junction Road until its closure in 1943. Recently Junction Road has been the subject of a minor renaissance, with several new businesses opening, including restaurants, a great print shop called Absolute Print, a florists, uphlosterers, a designer shop known as MAP and also an interesting curio and period clothing shop known as the Blue Carbunkle, where the owners dress flamboyantly in mostly 1920's garb; a guitar and stringed instrument shop adds to the area's growing attractions.

The postal district is N19.
