CLERKENWELL
The pinnacle of hip and the creative hub of London.
Village vibes and characterful industrial buildings, this historic pocket between the City and the West End, is a magnet for the young and upwardly mobile as well as the design savvy.
In past times, it was the home to London’s clockmakers and bookbinders. But now, with the regeneration of its pre-Victorian warehouses, it attracts architects, designers and media agencies to form what is reputedly one of the largest concentrations of creative businesses in the world.
Furthermore, Farringdon is one of the best connected stations in the Capital, connecting the tube, Thameslink and Crossrail services to provide links with outer London, the City, Canary Wharf and three airports.
But there remains a strong sense of community within these winding cobbled streets and alleyways as Clerkwellians enjoy the spoils of trendy restaurants, art galleries and independent boutiques.
