The ancient, hidden village of Clerkenwell clings to a hillside barely a stone’s throw away from St. Paul’s Cathedral. Its very name – the clerks’ or students’ spring – is redolent of antiquity.   Mystery plays and plague pits; riots and rookeries; bodysnatching and bombing; jousting and jesters; bloodshed and burnings; monks, murder, and medicine: Clerkenwell has a tale or two to tell.

Tracing its narrow alleyways and ancient squares, we take in a Norman church, there a magnificent Tudor gateway, round that corner venerable Charterhouse, London’s only surviving mediaeval monastic complex, let alone Hercule Poirot’s London flat and the trendiest house in town
