About

Farringdon Within is a compact ward in the northwest of the City of London. Its boundaries are largely formed by the historic city wall and the modern thoroughfares of Newgate Street and Giltspur Street. The area contains a mix of commercial office space and historic legal institutions, centred on the Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey. This gives the ward a distinct character tied to the administration of justice.

The ward's layout is dense, with narrow lanes like Old Bailey and Warwick Lane. Smithfield Market, just beyond its northern border, exerts a strong influence. A key feature is the Church of St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate, which historically tolled a bell for condemned prisoners at Newgate Prison. The ward contains few residential buildings, functioning primarily as a daytime financial and legal quarter.
