One of the best things about London is its abundance of neighbourhoods, and the individual personality each of them holds.

Hidden in the heart of Central London amongst familiar names like King’s Cross and Barbican and you’ll find the brilliant Clerkenwell.

With Georgian terrace lined streets to admire, local pubs to pop in and grab a pint, and museums to wander, this bit of London will give you the idyllic neighbourhood feel that makes you not want to leave.

Hooked yet? Well, you’re in luck, here’s the best things to do in Clerkenwell, London.

1. Visit Smithfield Market
Over 800 years old, Smithfield Market is one of the oldest wholesale meat and livestock markets in Europe, and the biggest in the entire UK, accumulating a ton of history to discover.

The market is open to the public as well if you just want just to wander and explore, but since it is a wholesaler to restaurants around the city who are up before dawn to get the best cuts, it will definitely be an early morning experience with opening hours being midnight till 7am.

P.S. – If you want to learn more about the history of the market you can book the City Guides tour to learn everything from its Victorian architecture to its rise in popularity and turbulent history.

2. Get Chocolate-fied at The Chocolate Cocktail Club
Not sure about you, but I am an absolute feen for chocolate, and The Chocolate Club is the perfect remedy.

With a menu full of chocolatey goodness, you can indulge in drinks like their signature cocktail, The Chocotini, or maybe The Devil Wears Dark Chocolate, a decadent collaboration between Vanilla Vodka and a Dark Chocolate Liqueur.

They even have a chocolate-inspired afternoon tea available on Tuesdays & Fridays, all-inclusive of traditional sandwiches, scones and desserts (chocolate of course), with your choice of Hot Chocolate, Coffee or Tea for only £25pp.

I mean, it is called the Chocolate Cocktail Club, so of course, you can make it a boozy Afternoon Tea if you wish for only £35pp and switch the traditional tea out for a Chocotini Cocktail, or Prosecco.

Due to the trance chocolate has on folks, booking for regular entry is recommended, so you don’t get disappointed at the door. The £10 ticket includes guaranteed entry and your choice of a cocktail from a prepared selection.

P.S. – You can also visit The Chocolate Cocktail Club with the Go City Pass!

3. Wander Exmouth Market
Exmouth-Market-Clerkenwell
Part of the reason Clerkenwell is such an amazing neighbourhood is the village it radiates, and Exmouth Market is a perfect example.

The street is lined with local businesses, from neighbourhood pubs, florists & coffee joints to independent shops like Marby & Elm, a stationary design store to East Central Cycles, the local bike shop.

Although the Market is located still on an active city street, cars are only allowed to drive through on the weekdays from noon until 2:30pm making it mainly a pedestrian area, but watch out for the occasional car!

4. Learn History at the Charles Dickens Museum
A London neighbourhood wouldn’t be a London neighbourhood without a museum, so thank goodness Clerkenwell has the Charles Dickens Museum.

If you don’t know who Charles Dickens is, no judgement….okay maybe a little judgement as he is one of the most famous authors in History, having written 15 novels, including The Christmas Carol.

The museum is located right inside his family home where he lived from 1837 – 1839, and is set up pretty much exactly the way he left it.

While living in this London home, he completed one of his most renowned books, ‘Oliver Twist’, so if you’re a bookworm like me a visit here is a must.

Learn even more about Dickens by asking the history pros working there about any of the collections exhibited throughout the house, or really whatever you’re curious about.

They often say a popular question they get is how & where did the Dickens family go to the loo, so you can literally ask anything.

The museum is open for you to explore Wednesday through Sunday from 10am – 5pm, with admission starting at £7.50, and anyone under the age of six is free.

P.S. – The museum is located at 48 Doughty Street, close to Russell Square

5. And the Postal Museum
I know I know, you’re probably thinking…Candace what’s cool about stamps? But I promise you there’s so much more than stamps to discover here at the Postal Museum.
