2 bed flat for sale

Banner Street, London EC1Y

An exceptionally smart, recently refurbished apartment.

The accommodation comprises a large reception room with brilliant light, cleverly divided into a comprehensive kitchen area, dining space and living room. There is a principal bedroom with a smart ensuite bathroom, second double bedroom and guest shower room.

This location of this apartment is fast becoming one of Central London’s most sought-after destinations, with major media and technology companies including cnn, hbo and Time Warner establishing headquarters nearby, alongside more than 5,000 tech companies clustered around Old Street roundabout.

Banner Street is perfectly positioned between Whitecross Street and Central Street in this vibrant yet discreet pocket of Clerkenwell. Whitecross Street, with its eclectic independent shops, renowned food market and Waitrose, is quite literally on your doorstep.

Clerkenwell offers, in my opinion, some of the best and most diverse dining in London, from exceptional à la carte restaurants to some of the capital’s finest street food.

Local transport links are outstanding. Farringdon Station provides access to the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines, National Rail services and the Elizabeth Line. It is one of the few stations in London to offer both north–south and east–west connections, making the City, Canary Wharf and the West End easily accessible, while also providing convenient links to King's Cross St Pancras and the Eurostar terminus. Barbican Station is also within easy reach.

The relocation of the London Museum to the southern end of the historic Smithfield Market is now underway, supported by a £180 million investment from the City of London and the Mayor of London. The first phase is scheduled to open at the end of 2026, creating significant new gallery spaces alongside venues for major events and exhibitions.

Further exciting news was announced in April this year regarding the proposed redevelopment of “The Annexe Buildings” in West Smithfield. Subject to planning approval, the scheme will introduce a vibrant new food market, helping establish Smithfield as one of London’s leading destinations for food, culture and public life, while revitalising this remarkable historic quarter of the city.
