Clerkenwell sits just north of the City, with design studios and loft flats in old warehouses, restaurants on Exmouth Market and St John Street, the jewellers of Hatton Garden and the meat market at Smithfield. Farringdon station at its heart is one of London's best-connected.
We collect from homes, hotels and offices across EC1. Some streets near Smithfield and Hatton Garden have restrictions, so give us the building and entrance and the driver will find the best stopping point.
