Clerkenwell – an ancient parish of London that was once home to the Knights Templar now has a rich design history. The Evening Standard claims that the area has more creative architects in one square mile than anywhere else on the planet. Between the creative studios and furniture showrooms you'll find some of the best coffee in London, amazing pubs and food from every corner of the world.
In the heart of the Hatton Garden jewellery district, this independently run hardware shop is a proper Aladdin’s cave for tools that specialise in the local trade, (they also exhibit at model railway shows). Whilst not normally on the tourist route, this treasure trove is worth a look around for the practically minded magpies amongst us.
