It was originally named after the Nag's Head public house in the Holloway Road (the A1). The pub changed names (despite stiff local resistance) when it was bought by a pub chain, O'Neills, and closed permanently in early 2004. It is currently being used as a furniture shop. The name remains attached to the Nag's Head market (behind Holloway Road on the northwest corner of Hertslet Road) and the Nag's Head Shopping Centre.
