Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this streamlined apartment in the heart of Clerkenwell, just over a fifteen-minute walk from the British Museum and five minutes from the bustling Leather Lane Market. Whether you’re staying for a while or just a weekend, the place has everything you need to feel right at home, from a well-appointed kitchen to a handy welcome pack with essentials to get you started. Just so you know, there’s not enough seating for a group of six at the dining table, but with endless restaurants on the doorstep, we think you’ll be eating out most of the time anyway.
