The Site and Context Section 01 The Site and Context 8 27 GOSWELL ROAD 9 THE LOCATION The building fronts directly onto Goswell Road, a Medieval street that runs from Angel in the north to the City of London to the south. The land was originally owned by the Charterhouse but was not developed until the late 19th Century where three warehouses, numbers 1-3 Charterhouse Buildings were constructed. These buildings were destroyed in 1885 in a fire that destroyed most of the surrounding buildings; the rebuilt buildings were subsequently destroyed by bombing in the mid 20th Century. The site lay vacant until the late 1960s when it was developed and became Litton House. This was subsequently demolished in the late 1980s and replaced by the current building on the site. The nearest London Underground Stations are Barbican and Old Street. The eastern ticket hall for Farringdon Crossrail station will be opening in late 2019, on Charterhouse Street. The height of the buildings in the immediate context vary from four to nine storeys with larger residential towers nearby. The site has the following boundaries: - A boundary to the south and to the rear is shared with the William Harvey Heart Centre - A boundary to the north is shared with no. 4 Charterhouse Buildings, Goswell Road - Nos. 14-15 Charterhouse Buildings borders at the rear Crescent House, a grade II listed building as part of the Golden Lane Estate, runs along Goswell Road directly opposite. The area has a mixture of uses with no one dominant type. Most of the east side of Goswell Road is residential in character, whereas most of the west is commercial. Both sides are populated with a range of restaurants, bars and shops. 10 27 GOSWELL ROAD 11 STATUTORY CONTEXT St Luke’s Hat and Feathers Conservation Area Conservation Area 20&24 Dagmar The Hat Old Street and Feathers This site is within the London Borough of Islingtion and is immediately adjacent to the border with The City 2&4 of London which runs down the centre of Goswell Road.

  • BUNHILL and CLERKENWELL Area Action Plan Consultation
    Planning for the future of BUNHILL AND CLERKENWELL Area Action Plan consultation Issues and Options Paper DRAFT for the Executive, April 2009 FOREWORD Islington Council, in partnership with EC1 New Deal for Communities, is producing an “Area Action Plan” for Bunhill and Clerkenwell. This consultation document sets out the challenges that the area will face over the coming years, and provides some suggestions and ideas about how these could be addressed. We want to hear what you think about these. The south of Islington is a unique part of London. Between 1900 and 1965 the area fell within the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury: a name that prevails in the local government-led projects of that era, such as the health and leisure centres. Prior to the creation of Finsbury Borough, the area was two separate parishes: St. Luke’s and Clerkenwell. The distinct identities of these areas remain to this day; however, both areas are recognisably part of central London. Over the last 15 years, parts of the area have been an urban success story. Clerkenwell, in particular, has retained its historic character whilst accommodating more residents and providing jobs in creative industries. EC1 New Deal for Communities, which has operated in the area since 2001, has had a positive impact on the lives of many residents and businesses. However, despite lying less than a mile from London’s financial heart, parts of the area remain among London’s most deprived. Despite the recent economic downturn, the Bunhill and Clerkenwell area is about to enter a period of major change.

  • A History of the Old Red Lion
    A HISTORY OF THE OLD RED LION Old Red Lion traces its roots back to 1415. According to modern accounts of the history of the Old Red Lion the business is said to have been founded in 1415. We have identified several sources and the claim goes back over a period of many years. According to one source writing in 1937 the Old Red Lion is thought to be the oldest public-house in London ‘with the possible exception of Whitehead’s in Bishopsgate and the Tabard.’ It also states that the "White Hart" in Drury Lane and the "Hoops and Grapes" in Aldgate also stake a claim. In addition it also says that although the Old Red Lion has been re-built several times it is ‘an historical fact’ that a tavern called the “Redde Lyon” stood on this spot in 1415. A mention of 1415 as the foundation date for the pub is found in Samuel Lewis, The History and Topography of the Parish of St Mary, Islington, which was published in 1842. It noted that large letters on the front of the building claimed the Old Red Lion was ‘established in 1415’. This fact is repeated in several books over the years including William Pink’s History of Clerkenwell in 1865 which says that the pub was refurbished in about 1840 with the new sign added as above; and goes on the further state: Pinks goes onto to speculate that the Old Red Lion may have a…. ‘Greater claim to antiquity than any other hostelry either in the metropolis or the environs, if we except, perhaps, the Talbot or Tabard in Borough, immortalised by Chaucer’.

However, the wider area presents a large number of residential buildings, both to the east (Peregrine House) and to the west (City Road terraces). Residential Commercial Mixed use Wakley Stret Wakley Stret Building heights The majority of the buildings in the area present a consistent height of 3-4 storeys. There are a few notable exception, most notably Peregrine House (18 floors tower block) and the taller buildings along Goswell Road.

Wakley Street and Goswell Road take about half as much traffic (being one-way). Hall Street absorbs only a limited amount of traffic, mainly for local access.
