East Central London may be better known as the creative hub and corporate stronghold of the City, but it’s an appealing residential location too. This is the historic heart of London, and lays claim to some of the Capital’s most exciting property.With more creative businesses and architects per square mile than anywhere else in the world, this area’s artistic hum is loudest in Clerkenwell, evidenced in the annual Clerkenwell Design Week.

Here you’ll find a maze of 17th century streets around Smithfield Market, historic social housing around Lever Street, the oldest Italian deli in the UK and Moorfields Eye Hospital. Dotted around are small garden squares crammed with locals enjoying lunch al fresco, most likely bought from one of the area’s street markets.

East Central London has an extensive range of things to do with a selection of adventures and activities.
