West Smithfield, London, EC1A

Situated in one of Central London's most historic settings, this charming apartment enjoys a prime position within the sought-after Smithfield Conservation Area, moments from St Paul's Cathedral, Postman's Park and the magnificent St Bartholomew-the-Great, founded in 1123 and widely regarded as the oldest surviving parish church in the City of London. The property also overlooks the Smithfield Rotunda Garden, providing an attractive green outlook in the heart of London.

Offering an excellent opportunity as a pied-à-terre, first home or investment purchase, the apartment is located on the third floor of a well-maintained building with lift access. The accommodation comprises a bright open-plan reception room with a recessed kitchen area, a double bedroom and a bathroom.

West Smithfield occupies a highly desirable position between the City and Clerkenwell, just moments from Farringdon Station. One of London's best-connected transport hubs, Farringdon provides access to the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Elizabeth lines, as well as National Rail services. As one of the few stations offering both north-south and east-west connections, it provides exceptional access across London, including the city, Canary Wharf, the West End and King's Cross St Pancras International with its Eurostar services.

The area continues to benefit from significant investment and regeneration. The London Museum's landmark relocation to the southern end of the historic Smithfield Market is well underway, supported by a £180 million investment from the City of London Corporation and the Mayor of London. The first phase is expected to open in early 2027, delivering new gallery spaces and major exhibition facilities.

Further exciting plans have recently been announced for the redevelopment of the Annexe Buildings in West Smithfield, subject to planning consent. The proposals include the creation of a vibrant new food market, further establishing Smithfield as a destination for food, culture and public life, while enhancing and revitalising this remarkable corner of Central London.

The owner has informed us that: "This apartment comes with a a full voting share of the company, formed by fellow leaseholders, to own and run the building, helping to keep service charges low and having funds ready for maintaining the building and its facilities."
