Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: In fact, you can still see part of Clerks’ Well after which Clerkenwell was originally named. The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden. It remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London – a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history.

Clerkenwell has been described as the London equivalent of New York’s East Village, but with more notable and diverse architecture and a rich history.

With great shopping and tremendous diversity of acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and wine bars it remains one of London’s best kept secrets.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail and the recently opened Elizabeth Line. In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east – west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

An exceptionally special Clerkenwell home.
