Top Serviced Apartments in Farringdon

Situated in the heart of London, Farringdon serviced apartments are the ideal place to stay in London if you are looking for short or long term accommodation. An excellent alternative to hotels, serviced apartments offer ample space, a fully equipped kitchen, stylish interiors and comfortable living space. Farringdon is located in one of the most prominent parts of London but that doesn’t give the full picture as to just how central and well located it actually is. It is partly located within the City of London and working within walking distance of an apartment becomes a real possibility.

It can be found in between the St Paul’s area of London and the Barbican. The best way to get around is by foot, as with anywhere in London as there’s always something to miss. But there are excellent transport links by rail, tube and bus on offer too.

The informal area of Farringdon can’t be quantified. Colloquially people generally refer to the area around Farringdon Station as ‘Farringdon’, but this is further north than the official place.

Farringdon is a busy weekday spot. It’s the home of plenty of offices and therefore plenty of commuters head here from Monday to Friday. As expected these are also well catered for in terms of entertainment with bars and restaurants aplenty. However, at the weekends this part of the city becomes a quiet and tranquil place.

The best way to experience it is by staying in serviced apartments in Farringdon such as those offered by TheSqua.re. Here are some examples:

These properties offer comforts that can only usually be found at home, coupled with luxuries that one would expect from a hotel. Wi-Fi is standard and included in the price, as is air conditioning and a flat screen TV. Other amenities may also be available. These include things such as gym access, a reception desk or a concierge.

More about Farringdon, London

Corporate Accommodation in Farringdon

In terms of corporate accommodation there aren’t many better locations than Farringdon, especially for people who are looking to work in the City of London. It is literally a walk away. In fact, Farringdon is also home to many companies and offices itself.

For people that aren’t working in the City of London area, it is still ideally located thanks to the transport links available. The station at Farringdon gives numerous options, but the majority of London’s tube lines are within walking distance too.

There is another advantage for corporate travellers staying in Farringdon for the longer term. At the weekends it turns into a ghost town! All the hullabaloo of the working week has disappeared along with the people and sitting back and relaxing in the apartment, or finding a green space to stretch one’s legs in relative privacy is a valid option.

Holiday Accommodation in Farringdon

At first glance, Farringdon might not seem like the right option for people travelling to London on holiday, due to the fact that it is a very corporate area. However, there are lots of reasons why it is actually a fantastic option.

It’s well connected for a start. Staying in such close proximity to Central London means that all of the major sights are minutes rather than hours away.

Serviced apartments in Farringdon offer a great starting point for a day’s sightseeing. Not only is it well placed as a base from which all of London’s most obvious attractions can be easily ticked off. It also has a rich history itself, with plenty to see and do in the immediate vicinity.

Where to Stay in Farringdon

Farringdon itself is not a huge place though it might surprise many in that it is in fact split into two areas. These two areas are difficult to see in modern times as they are split by the London Wall which was built in London times. 

These areas are denoted by the names Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without. They do refer to the part of Farringdon within the London Wall and the part of Farringdon outside it. But these wards weren’t designated until 1394. A long time after the Romans left Britain.

After a boundary change in 2003, Farringdon Within isn’t actually entirely within the boundaries of the wall either!

Facts About Farringdon

Farringdon is an old part of London, as can be seen from the Roman Wall that runs through it, effectively splitting it into the two wards that exist today. As such it has a decent history, and many interesting things to learn about it. Here are some to consider:

  • Farringdon is split into two wards, Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without, roughly denoted by the ancient Roman wall.
  • The historic locality in the City of London is actually a little bit south of what people actually refer to Farringdon as today. People nowadays consider Farringdon the area round the station, located in the London Borough of Islington.
  • The place that most people refer to as Farringdon is actually the north tip of Clerkenwell.
  • The River Fleet flows close by but only underground. There are places in the area where it can be heard flowing.
  • Lenin used to live in nearby Percy Circus and enjoy a pint in the local pubs.
  • Farringdon means ‘fern covered hill’.
  • Farringdon Station used to be known as Farringdon Street Station, before being renamed Farringdon & High Holborn and then simply Farringdon in 1936.

Cost of Living in Farringdon

There is a big discrepancy between buying a property and renting one in the area. People looking to purchase can expect prices that are around 33% higher than anywhere else in London.

However, people looking to rent can expect monthly charges that are around 25% cheaper, when compared to the same areas.

A serviced apartment Farringdon is still a very attractive choice for people staying in the medium or long term considering the hassle and cost that a short term contract for a traditional rental property could entail.

With a combined population of 1,375 at the last consensus, the amount of people who call Farringdon a home is pretty small and the price of the property is definitely a factor.

As a location in Central London the overall cost of living has to be considered expensive, but the central location itself also has to be thought about. There’s a possibility of having no transport costs which can be significant in London.

Farringdon is full of furniture shops so decorating for people who have purchased property is not a problem. These furniture shops are seriously high end outlets but this probably doesn’t matter for anyone who can afford property in the area.

Bargains are possible in Farringdon when it comes to general shopping, but these have to be carefully sought out.

The accommodation is generally of a high standard. Modern apartments alongside trendy converted loft spaces are the preference of the young professionals here.

Tips for Visiting Farringdon

Farringdon offers a central location, close to the central business district but with the rest of the capital easily accessible.

It’s quiet on weekends, which can either be a good or a bad thing depending on who’s visiting, but a good time is certainly never far away. Here are a few tips as to how to make the most of a visit to Farringdon:

  • Remember the City of London is a desolate place at weekends. Don’t arrange to meet friends in a favourite pub on a Saturday and Sunday without checking it’s open first. A lot of them aren’t!
  • Try an Antipodean style brunch. There’s plenty of quirky little cafés to experience.
  • There’s no High Street to speak of. The shops are scattered around the back streets and are made up of a very eclectic group of retailers. Hunt around for bargains as there are some eye-wateringly expensive places here.
  • For people working in architecture or looking to work in creative agencies, Farringdon and nearby Clerkenwell have some big names to consider.

  • Fabric - a giant of the London clubbing scene for nearly 20 years. Three rooms of quality electronica force.
  • London Metropolitan Archives - for the unashamedly nosey or for those interested in history. There’s always an exhibition on here, check their website for details.
  • The Charterhouse - a bloody history to rival that of the Tower of London. Only opened in 2017 so word hasn’t got round yet but well worth a visit before it does.
  • Smithfield Market - the largest meat market in the UK. Red meat only, opens from 2am, for the full range get there before 7am. Not vegan friendly.

  • Sublime - gift shop and Scandinavian fashion. Worth visiting to see what it’s all about.
  • Antoni & Alison - cool and unique fashions closely associated with London.

The same as most of south east England except that it’s a couple of degrees warmer all year round, as London generally is. This is great in the winter but can be a little uncomfortable in the summer
