Clerkenwell is a trendy neighbourhood with very few tourists. Nice if you like to mix with the hip locals.
As lovers of good food, lively Clerkenwell is the place to be. It is a historic district full of old warehouses and factory buildings that have become home to media companies and creative agencies in recent years. In this trendy area in central London, there is a lot to do, especially when it comes to culinary delights. Especially around Exmouth Market, there are many good restaurants and (gastro)pubs where you sit shoulder to shoulder with local loft residents and creative media types. And Smithfield Market has been selling meat for eight hundred years. Those who want to see this market in full action should get there early.
