About this apartment rental
Clerkenwell Albemarle is an understated two bedroom short let London home, moments from Farringdon station. Tucked away on a secret little side road that only our cabbies seem to know, you will not believe how close you are to the hub-bub of the City.
LIVING ROOM
Pristine and well presented, the living room offers attractive honey coloured wooden floor boards, sofa, armchair and a flat screen TV. Enjoy the classic 20th century Eames furniture and bags of London style which make this home a comforting sanctuary.
KITCHEN
The modern kitchen is open plan to the living room, unobtrusive and to the side. It offers all machines including a dishwasher, ceramic hob, washer/dryer, oven, microwave and cafetiere. There is also a folding dining table and chairs for four.
OUTSIDE SPACE
Directly off the kitchen is a large roof terrace overlooking the tranquil courtyard of the Order of St John. This is a lovely spot to relax amidst the fairy lights that adorn the two mature olive trees. The outdoor modular furniture has huge, comfortable cushions.
BEDROOMS
The master bedroom is a haven of calm with soothing smalt coloured walls and a generous king sized bed. The second bedroom has a comfortable single bed and overlooks the attractive church property adjacent. Newly laundered 1000 thread Egyptian quality linen is provided for each stay.

LOCATION
This particular street in historic Clerkenwell is steeped in history. Oliver Twist, perhaps Charles Dickens' most beloved novel, was set in and around here. The Bard himself, Mr William Shakespeare, is said to have held play readings in St John's Square and Henry VII visited the Priory of St John and the cloister gardens behind it.
Clerkenwell itself is a convenient central London location in close proximity to the City, Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Islington. There are great local amenities, numerous restaurants and supermarkets, plus historic and important cultural attractions. The Barbican is up the road, Hatton Garden is around the corner and you can walk to St Paul’s in 15 minutes. Farringdon station is one of the largest and best connected in London and only one stop to King's Cross / St Pancras. This is an authentic London pied-à-terre, much loved by the home owners and neat as a new pin.

Wonderful location for our vacation week in London. Easy access to Farringdon station to get anywhere in London. Catch the Elizabeth Line direct train to Heathrow from Farringdon station. Easy access via the bus system to all the famous sites in London. Walking distance to St. Paul's Cathedral. We felt like locals and didn't see many tourists in the area. Great coffee shop across the street with tasty baked goods. Crown Tavern around the corner is a nice local pub. Overlooks a beautiful herb garden in St. John's church yard. Grocery store just around the corner. Quiet. Our hosts were super responsive to any requests or help needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding location. Very cozy and well stocked flat. Stairs may be an issue for some. Great hosts, always available but never intrusive. Pubs and restaurants close by, and five minutes walk from Faringdon station with direct links to Heathrow and Gatwick. Highly recommended.

The host was most pleasant and helpful. She gave me the specifics on house appliances, trash disposal, keys, and area things of interest. We'd absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much! David and James from Seattle and London
