Torshov
Torshov is the neighbourhood North of Grünerløkka, uphill from ring road 2. The central parts of Torshov was a large housing project in the city of Oslo in the 1920s. As a residential area, Torshov has a characteristic monumental design with elements of baroque revival and neo-classical style. The layout was inspired by the English garden city movement and the area was basically greenfield in the 1920s. The Torshov bull in the octagonal Hegermann square is the symbol of the area.

Hjula weaving mill
Hjula Væveri
This industrial complex is perhaps an unusual attraction, but the striking buildings at the waterfall in Akerselva (Aker river) are one interesting legacy of Oslo's manufacturing past. It was the first water powered weaving mill in Norway, and during the late 1800s the largest textile company in Norway. The factory operated for more than 100 years. The water-powered factories along Aker river was an important factor behind Oslo's exceptional growth in the late 1800s. Hjula weaving mill and nearby Nedre Vøyen spinning mill are still standing at the waterfalls. Buildings have been converted to restaurants, shops, TV studios and offices.

Tran Sushi & Wok
The restaurant offers good sushi for a nice price. Featuring about 10 seats, the place could be considered more a take-away than a restaurant.
