Clerkenwell as an area was a microcosm of almost every aspect of the built environment. Built on the banks of the historic river Fleet it had a medieval Abbey, houses, shops, factories, plenty of green spaces and at the other end the New River bringing fresh water into London.

In many ways, Clerkenwell was the first modern town development in England, an example set by our Georgian ancestors of how things should be done with decent high-quality housing, places to work, green spaces and good infrastructure.

Clerkenwell Properties was set up with the same principles of our Georgian forefathers, to quote Oscar Wilde: “We have the simplest of tastes. We are only satisfied with the best.” Our aim is to deliver high-quality developments that complement its local setting, something that fits in that will contribute in a positive way to the area rather than detract from it – as so often the case!

We pride ourselves in listening to the neighbours and working with them to draw up the plans for our developments. That way we ensure that what we build whether it be new homes or businesses fit in with what is around it but also (from a very selfish point of view) are places where people actually want to live for a long time. We never build a home where we wouldn’t live ourselves. .
