Cosy and comfortable, this Clerkenwell home is an ideal base for a small family or two couples on a London getaway. Sure, some rooms are a little compact, but you’ll find everything needed here for a relaxing stay. When it’s time to venture out, you’re a mere ten-minute stroll from the Barbican Centre, and there’s a whole host of eateries in the surrounding area for dining out. Locally, make the most of Clerkenwell with an early morning visit to Smithfield Market, or soak up some history at either the Charles Dickens or Postal Museum.
