Clerkenwell: Change and Renewal

The streets of Clerkenwell are vibrant, with elegant loft conversions and strikingly modern architecture, design studios, boutique hotels and award winning restaurants. The area is widely praised as a model of model urban renaissance. Yet, only 30 years ago, Clerkenwell seemed in terminal decline. In this book, richly-illustrated with original images, Alan Ainsworth examines the factors which have made change and renewal a feature of Clerkenwell throughout its history.
