Rebuilt from the flames of the Great Fire of London, Farringdon is a unique area that belongs as much to the City of London (Farringdon Within) as it does to the London Borough of Islington (Farringdon Without).
As a sought-after neighbourhood, the area is surrounded by desirable central London districts like Holborn to the West, Clerkenwell to the North, Shoreditch to the East, and the river-facing Blackfriars to the South. In addition to being strikingly close to the world-famous St Paul's Cathedral, the area is also home to London's only remaining wholesale market, Smithfield Meat Market.
For those eager to know more about real-life heroes than fictional superheroes, Postman's Park in Farringdon features the famous Watts Memorial with plaques dedicated to brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest to save others.The area is also preferred by commuters as it is well-connected to the rest of London via Farringdon Station, serving as an interchange between the Underground, Overground and Elizabeth Line.
From elegant apartments on Cock Lane Street to stylish studios on Mount Pleasant, Farringdon offers buyers a dynamic range of properties within the EC1 and EC2 postcodes of central London.
