1 bedroom apartment

An incredibly special Clerkenwell loft apartment in this landmark, Grade II listed building dating back to the early 1900’s.

Designed by William Bradford & Sons for the Cannon Brewery Company in 1894, the building originally housed offices and caretakers’ accommodation. In the 1930’s Cannon Brewery was acquired by the Taylor Walker group but closed in 1955.
Pollard’s a successful London shopfitter was based in the building, they expanded into architectural bronze/metal work and shop fronts with the two most acclaimed surviving facades at “Simpsons” on Piccadilly and “Fox’s Umbrellas” at London Wall, now a wine bar.

With extremely high ceilings and huge double sash windows the space is outstanding with a 25 ft double reception room with kitchen area to the front of the building, recently installed shower room and double bedroom quietly located to the rear of the apartment.

Located on St John Street, close to the junction with Clerkenwell Road, the building is moments from Waitrose supermarket and the extensive selection of diverse and acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and wine bars.

Clerkenwell first became a fashionable place to live in the 17th century as a destination where Londoners enjoyed tea gardens, theatres and spas: in fact, you can still see part of Clerks’ Well after which Clerkenwell was originally named. The area later became famous as a centre for clock and watchmaking alongside the jewellers and goldsmiths of Hatton Garden.

It remains one of the best-preserved village centres in central London – a vibrant modern community with a fascinatingly rich history. Clerkenwell has been described as the London equivalent of New York’s East Village, but with more notable and diverse architecture and a rich history.

Farringdon underground and main line station is a short stroll away with access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, National rail and the recently opened Elizabeth Line. In fact, it is one of the only stations in London that offers north-south as well as east – west connections, making the city, Canary Wharf and London's west end easily accessible, not to mention easy access to Kings Cross St Pancras with its Eurostar terminus.

A super loft apartment in a prime Clerkenwell building.
