“I have been fascinated by the history of the Clerkenwell area ever since my father used to bring me here as a boy to visit his estate agency business at 1 St John Street – ‘Number 1 in EC1′, as he proudly claimed’ – and these posts are the result of my researches. I hope you will be as interested as I have been.

I run the estate agency now. If you are interested in letting or renting (or buying or selling) any commercial property, please give me a call. We can improve any deal.”
