Property to rent in Farringdon
Although Farringdon is mainly inhabited by businesses, restaurants, bars, cafés and night clubs, there are some Georgian terraced houses in the few residential streets situated around St. John Street and Farringdon Road, and some ultra modern flats on the main thoroughfares. The name ‘Farringdon’ means fern covered hill.
