| Clerkenwell used to be a part of London’s industrial heartland. Now, the warehouses are home to design agencies and magazines, the factories have become exclusive bars and restaurants, and the slum housing has been turned into exclusive flats for professional twenty-somethings. As the local population moved out, the pubs fund a new way of making money, and many of London’s oldest and best gastropubs are in this area, supplied with top quality ingredients by Exmouth and Smithfield Markets. With few tourists and hotels, Clerkenwell can feel a little deserted at weekends – that is until you stumble across the areas around legendary nightclubs Fabric and Turnmills which have been so popular for so long that they’ve generated their own local economies of bars, shops and restaurants. In the North, Sadler’s Wells is London’s flagship venue for contemporary dance. |
