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.
BATHROOM
The smart modern bathroom has a large walk in shower, WC and basin. Deluxe starter toiletries and fluffy white towels are provided as standard.

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.

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

Clean unit. Great location.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
The area (featured in a wonderful children's book, Smith, by Leon Garfield, btw) has enough to keep one busy and intrigued without ever leaving the neighbourhood. That said, it is also very well served by tube and bus to the west end, the south bank or wherever else one is headed. My goal was to feel as though I lived in London for five weeks and this flat did it! A cozy place to return to after a busy day, perfectly feasible to cook and eat at home (the well-equipped kitchen actually had good knives, when does that ever happen in a rental?) and we had very lucky weather so the deck got lots of use. Thoughtful touches like board games, a drying rack with clothes pins, hot water bottles, a good book selection and a yoga mat. All appreciated. Amazingly quiet for being in the centre of everything. Communication with the owner was easy. This was a dream holiday.
One thing only. It needs a folding step-stool. To get to the higher kitchen cupboards I was standing on a kitchen chair which wasn't good for the chair and not really safe. The stool could live in the corner next to the brush and dust-pan at the deck door.

Ablemarle was a great place to stay! Check in was easy and the apartment had everything we needed for a 10 day stay. We loved the location! Walking distance to several restaurants and a 6 minute walk to the train station.
Elinor was a great host. She communicated with us from booking to check out. Her apartment and terrace were lovely.
We loved our visit.
