Roslagsgatan 24, Stockholm

Jobbadress för Roslagshallen Squashbanor AB

It’s hard to imagine that this sought-after address in Stockholm was once considered so far off the beaten track that it was given the nickname ‘Siberia’.

In the s Roslagsgatan, which stretches from Norrtull over Odengatan to intersect with Birger Jarlsgatan, was on the very edge of the capital, the last outpost on the road north towards Roslagen.

Much has changed since then, yet a lot still remains the same. With its antique dealers and small intimate shops and restaurants that originally sprung up at the time when tram number six used to pass by, the area retains much of the charm of that era, as well as a unique position in the geography of the city.

Neither entirely residential nor commercial, it is sandwiched between Sveavägen and Valhallavägen. The bustling traffic to and from the school at Norra Real is entirely absent in the summer when the residents, patrons and business owners evacuate to Roslagen and beyond.

Combining antiques and boutiques, pensioners, trendy hipsters and young families, the traditional and the modern, it is a street intent on reaching the future through the past, with a foot firmly planted in both camps.
