Why not explore the nearby areas of Clerkenwell, Islington, King's Cross, Barbican, Holborn, City, Caledonian Road, Hoxton, Bloomsbury and Euston

"Clerkenwell owes its name to Clerks' Well, which was only rediscovered in 1924 in the basement of a building on Farringdon Lane."

Clerkenwell offers residents outstanding choice when it comes to the bars and restaurants and all so close to London's financial centre, too!

I love the buzzy urban feel of EC1 and knowing that I am within touching distance of all that is happening...

Finsbury quote

Tim Standing

Within touching distance of the West End, yet retaining a vibrant neighbourhood feel, Islington is a smart choice for buyers and tenants.

About Finsbury

Finsbury is a district of central London, England. It lies immediately north of the City of London and Clerkenwell, west of Shoreditch, and south of Islington and City Road. It is in the south of the London Borough of Islington. The Finsbury Estate is in the western part of the district. The eastern part of the district is now sometimes known as St Luke's. The name is first recorded as Vinisbir (1231) and means "manor of a man called Finn". At the end of the 18th century a residential suburb was built with its centre at Finsbury Square.
