Secret London: A self-guided walk through the mysterious and quirky area of Clerkenwell

If you look for the quarter that could rightly be labelled “Secret London”, then it is Clerkenwell. Enchanted, mysterious and radical – Clerkenwell provides a mixture of important historic events for London, as well as being an influence and setting for literary representations of the city.

Walk up the hill from Smithfield Market, follow the buried river Fleet and discover the place where you can actually hear and see it run underground, and visit “Little Hell”, formerly one of the worst slums in Victorian London.
