Clerkenwell is a pretty much perfect London location. It's surrounded by the various attractions of Bloomsbury, Holborn, Smithfield, Barbican, the City of London, Islington, King's Cross and St Pancras. Clerkenwell is also only half an hour's walk from St Paul's Cathedral, the South Bank and the West End. Yet despite the excitement on its doorstep, Clerkenwell retains a friendly village atmosphere, particularly around Clerkenwell Green and Exmouth Market - a pedestrian passage containing outdoor cafés and some highly rated restaurants. Lovely Georgian squares and distinctive churches add to the peaceful character of the area, which is rich in history. Charles Dickens, who lived in neighbouring Bloomsbury, used many of the streets as settings. In Farringdon Lane, part of the Clerk's Well, which gave the district its name, still exists. A 16th Century gatehouse in St John's Lane houses a museum detailing the history of St John Ambulance. Past and present collide near the 800-year-old Smithfield meat market, where fashionable clubs Fabric and Turnmills are located. The Eagle, in Farringdon Road, was London's first gastropub. Other local attractions include Sadler's Wells, the fine jewellery centre of Hatton Garden and ghost hunts round the old courthouse and the former House of Detention.
