London's Secret Village: Clerkenwell

Clerkenwell on its hillside, ten minutes from St Paul's and a different city.

Every Monday, 14:30Walking

The name is the clerks' well, and the place is genuinely old: mystery plays, a priory, plague pits, riots, rookeries, and then the watchmakers, printers and distillers who made it a workshop quarter. It sits on a hill just outside the City wall, which is why it kept its own street plan, and the walk is about what survived being that close to money for a thousand years.
