standards. In the west its border is the street Uelandsgate and
the cemetery: Nordre gravlund. In the north it borders Tåsen and
Storo. The border then follows the valley Torshovdalen in the
east, and borders the areas of Rodeløkka and Grünerløkka is

it for a thousand years, mills and turbines have been operating.
