The Bard himself, Mr William Shakespeare, is said to have held play readings in St John's Square and Henry VII visited the Priory of St John and the cloister gardens behind it.
Clerkenwell itself is a convenient central London location in close proximity to the City, Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Islington.

The Barbican is up the road, Hatton Garden is around the corner and you can walk to St Paul’s in 15 minutes. Farringdon station is one of the largest and best connected in London and only one stop to King's Cross / St Pancras. This is an authentic London pied-à-terre, much loved by the home owners and neat as a new pin.

Yanks in London
Our only wish was that the early March weather could have been a bit warmer so that we might have enjoyed that splendid back deck with the facade of the priory and its lovely garden right there. It was a fine flat, well located and most particularly attended to by gracious and understanding hosts.

A wonderful apartment in a great location!
I purposely rented this apartment to immerse myself in a quiet
part of London, and this flat absolutely met my needs. The
apartment was clean, quiet, and spacious. It was not full of clutter, and it was a comfortable place to be for 2 weeks. (a friend even stayed in the smaller bedroom for part of the time.) Everything you need is a short walk away, including restaurants, groceries, and the very convenient Farringdon Station (which is also on the Elizabeth line and goes to Heathrow.) Elinor was very helpful whenever I had questions. Despite being away from the touristy past of London, it was very convenient to visit all the major attractions, while offering a respite from the noise and bustle. I would definitely stay there again and strongly recommend it!

Great time in London
Great flat with terrific views of gardens. near a number of walkable quality restaurants. Beds were comfy but unfortunately the master bedroom is a little noisy with car traffic in the mornings. Kitchen has quality stuff but a little light on silverware and just quantity of dishes etc. have to wash every dish you use for next day use if have 3 people. Owner very responsive and gets back to you quickly with recommendations and response to any concerns. It is a great find!

Perfect flat in great location
Clerkenwell was a wonderful surprise. My daughter was in London for a week of business in "The City" and I came along for a London mini-vac. We have both been to London many times so were open to a new, less touristy neighborhood. The location of the flat was ideal for both business in The City (walking distance) as well as accessibility to everything I was doing all over town. The selection of restaurants in Clerkenwell is a culinary delight, access to transport via Faringdon Station is superb, and the quiet little street on which the flat is situated is perfect. The flat is well-designed, immaculately clean, well heated and has great shower and beds. Couldn't have been more comfortable.

Beautiful Flat in Historic Building in a Wonderful Neithborhood
My husband, teen daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this flat. We loved the view out the back of the church's garden and would have loved to enjoy the terrace but it was a but chilly for that in December.
Clerkenwell had so much to offer that we didn't have an opportunity to do it all. The location was ideal for us as we tend to not want to be in the middle of a busy city like London. We either walked or took the tube/bus to wherever we wanted to go.
Even though many places were closed during the holiday break, we still found plenty of restaurants to enjoy during this week.
Ellinor was very helpful with all of my questions. And the flat was very clean in addition to having everything we needed for our week long stay.
I would recommend this flat to anyone who is traveling to London.

The perfect home base in Clerkenwell!
We just returned home and must say that we loved and highly recommend this duplex for a stay in London. It is very comfortable. The terrace was fantastic for a week in the summertime! Elinor and Matthew made booking, checking in and out very smooth. The space is perfect for a family with one child. As long as you are able to walk the stairs, the place is perfect: private, quiet, tastefully furnished, well-equipped with kitchenware, linens, soap and shampoo. Clerkenwell is well located for easy access to public transportation - buses and train lines - and has some very good restaurants within a few blocks in every direction. We would definitely come back!

Loved it
Perfect quiet location, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Kind helpful owners. Loved the little extras, bathrobes, tea and coffee and fresh flowers. The outdoor deck makes it overlooking the beautiful herb and flowering serene old garden.
