A short walk brings you to the Barbican Centre, London's landmark arts complex offering theatre, cinema, concerts and exhibitions year-round. Explore the boutiques, restaurants and café terraces of Exmouth Market and Clerkenwell, or head east into the creative energy of Shoreditch and Old Street, with its independent galleries, bars and design studios.

History is never far away — the Museum of London, St Paul's Cathedral and the Guildhall are all within easy reach on foot or by tube. For green space, Bunhill Fields, one of the City's oldest burial grounds and a quiet urban retreat, is just a few minutes' walk.

With three tube stations nearby — Old Street (Northern Line), Barbican (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan Lines) and Moorgate (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern, Elizabeth Lines) — the rest of London is effortlessly accessible. The West End, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Harrods are all a short ride away, and direct links make Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports easy to reach from any of the three stations.
