About

Clerkenwell ward covers a compact area of central London, centred on the historic Clerkenwell Green. The district is characterised by a mix of converted Georgian and Victorian warehouses, modern residential developments, and commercial offices. The historic boundary of the parish, defined by the now-subterranean River Fleet, still influences the local street layout. Its central location makes it a hub for professional services, particularly creative and technology firms, alongside longstanding craft workshops.

The area's history is evident in landmarks like the medieval St. John's Gate, a remnant of the Priory of St. John, and the former Middlesex Sessions House on Clerkenwell Green. Smithfield Market, a major wholesale meat market, lies just to the south, influencing the local rhythm. Clerkenwell is also known for its concentration of specialist watch and clock repairers, a trade established here in the 18th century. The ward contains several small public gardens, such as Spa Fields, providing green space within the dense urban grain.
