Brewhouse Yard, Clerkenwell, London, EC1V

Once the beating heart of one of London's largest breweries, Brewhouse Yard is now a bold architectural landmark; its copper, zinc, and glass façades standing where steam, hops, and heritage once ruled. Today, it’s a place where history and design collide: a reimagined brewery estate brought to life by Hamilton Associates in 2002, built around a landscaped courtyard and fronted by one of Clerkenwell's most iconic period structures: the Clock House, with its turreted brickwork and bracket clock still intact.

Perched on the third floor of Horseshoe Court, named for the original brewery tap, this two-bedroom apartment is a striking example of modern city living. More urban than industrial, its design feels warm and expansive. Glossy, natural wood floors sweep through the communal areas, glowing under the abundance of natural light that pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows. Crisp white walls add volume and clarity, while the open-plan kitchen and reception space is clean-lined and confidently zoned. A perimeter of cool grey tiling subtly defines the kitchen, where sleek white cabinetry and gleaming silver appliances lend cool contrast to the rest of the space. Both bedrooms are generous and sunlit, with the principal featuring a contemporary en suite. A second full bathroom serves guests and the second bedroom.

Located just off St John Street, moments from the vibrancy of Clerkenwell Road, the development is surrounded by independent restaurants, celebrated wine bars, and historic London architecture. Farringdon, Barbican, and Chancery Lane stations are all within a short walk, with the Elizabeth Line now providing direct access to Heathrow, Canary Wharf, and beyond. This is one of the most connected and quietly coveted corners of Central London. Furthermore, residents of Brewhouse Yard benefit from 24-hour porterage and access to a secure underground car park should they wish to rent a parking space.
