West Smithfield is fantastically located to the south of Farringdon and Clerkenwell and to the north of St Paul's. It's location offers ease of access on foot to the western part of the Square Mile and all of the professional and financial services firms and banks based there.

 

The plentiful bars, restaurants, coffee shops, historic pubs and amenities of Smithfield and Farringdon are close; intimate candlelit Cloth, on Cloth Fair, Club Gascon on West Smithfield, the long standing and acclaimed St John on St John St, highly regarded French restaurant Bouchon Racine on Cowcross St and newcomer Ibai, a Basque grill, on Bartholomew Close.

 

Nearby stations are Farringdon and Barbican (Elizabeth, National Rail, Hammersmith & City, Circle and Metropolitan lines) and St. Paul's (Central Line). The Elizabeth line provides very quick and easy access to Soho, Mayfair and Canary Wharf.

 

West Smithfield and the EC1A area is the most historic quarter of the City of London - the medieval St Bartholomew the Great church and St Barts Hospital (founded in 1123), Cloth Fair (named after the medieval Bartholomew Fair which took place for centuries in Smithfield) and Pie Corner (where the Great Fire of London was stopped!) are all close.

 

Smithfield Meat Market is set to close in 2028 after 900 years of market trading on this site and the Victoria market buildings will be redeveloped and repurposed. The Museum of London is set to open in one of the old disused market buildings in coming years as the London Museum.
