From industrial manufacturing to the global trade in architecture and design services — this insightful walking tour tells the story of how Clerkenwell’s central location as a hub for London’s creative industries shaped its extraordinary built environment.
This walking tour between the soon-to-open London Museum and Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration explores the varied connections which defined Clerkenwell – covering people and their stories; communities and the built environment; and the area’s layered history and the lively streets of today.
Clerkenwell is one of the oldest parts of the capital, with its development at the edge of the City of London dating back to medieval times, and it has long been the connective tissue and buffer zone between the City merchants and the rural and suburban outskirts.
