Description

Developed by Derwent London and designed by RIBA Stirling Prize-winning architectural practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, The Sweeps Building takes its name from the site’s original purpose as a bullion refinery, specialising in the extraction of precious metals from the floor sweepings of nearby Hatton Garden jewellery workshops.

This exclusive collection of 14 loft-style apartments forms part of The Johnson Building — a striking mixed-use urban quarter set behind an elegant Art Deco façade dating from 1927, designed by the legendary Wallis, Gilbert & Partners, renowned for iconic London landmarks including The Hoover Building, Victoria Coach Station and the EMI Factory in Hayes.

Retaining elements of its industrial heritage, the apartment features expansive full-height Crittall-style windows, impressive ceiling heights and exposed cast-concrete cross-members, creating exceptional natural light, volume and authentic character throughout.

The dual-aspect main living space incorporates a contemporary open-plan kitchen with views over vibrant Leather Lane. The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful courtyard aspect and benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom includes a private balcony. A third bedroom and family bathroom complete the well-balanced lateral accommodation.

Leather Lane is one of central London’s most celebrated food destinations, home to a renowned street food market offering an eclectic mix of international cuisine. Nearby Hatton Garden remains the capital’s historic centre for jewellery and gem trading, while Clerkenwell and Farringdon — just moments away — provide an exceptional selection of restaurants, bars and cultural landmarks amid a rich architectural landscape of converted warehouses, Victorian Gothic buildings and the iconic Smithfield Market.

Outstanding transport connections include the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon, providing fast access across London and beyond. The City, Lincoln’s Inn and the West End are all within easy walking distance, positioning this exceptional location as a gateway between London’s financial, legal and entertainment districts.
