Cool Clerkenwell
Made in Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell today has more creative businesses per square mile than anywhere else on the planet but it also has a long history of crafts and manufacturing. Huguenot clockmakers, disabled artificial flower makers and brewers and gin distillers are just some of the makers whose stories and hard work have shaped this fascinating district.
