LOCATION
This particular street in historic Clerkenwell is steeped in history. Oliver Twist, perhaps Charles Dickens' most beloved novel, was set in and around here. The Bard himself, Mr William Shakespeare, is said to have held play readings in St John's Square and Henry VII visited the Priory of St John and the cloister gardens behind it.
Clerkenwell itself is a convenient central London location in close proximity to the City, Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Islington. There are great local amenities, numerous restaurants and supermarkets, plus historic and important cultural attractions. The Barbican is up the road, Hatton Garden is around the corner and you can walk to St Paul’s in 15 minutes. Farringdon station is one of the largest and best connected in London and only one stop to King's Cross / St Pancras. This is an authentic London pied-à-terre, much loved by the home owners and neat as a new pin.
