Here, clustered in the streets around the now iconic Silicon Roundabout, can be found a diverse community of established digital leaders and innovative start-ups. With them they’ve brought a social and cultural scene unlike anything else in the City, plus a very special quality that’s impossible to manufacture – the area’s palpable energy and ‘anything’s possible’ attitude. It’s this vital ingredient that continues to make this neighbourhood such a desirable and inspiring place to be and do business, and is an environment you simply won’t find anywhere but Old Street. WENLOCK WORKS 06 BELOW: OLD STREET ROUNDABOUT PROPOSED CGI’S Round & About Old Street roundabout is being transformed into a pedestrian square, with building works anticipated to finish in 2021. The roundabout at London’s technology epicentre is being replaced by a large ‘peninsula’ designed to make the junction safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The radical design sees the north-western side of the roundabout paved over to create a new public space. Old Street station will also have a new entrance way installed in a central location where the island is at present. Other planned improvements include segregated cycle lanes and cycle-friendly traffic signals. Five new pedestrian crossings would be added and unnecessary street furniture would be removed, according to the plans. The main feature would be a central pedestrianised walkway lined with trees and benches.

The surrounding Wenlock district of East London, has been home to entrepreneurs from fields as diverse as beer brewing and furniture factories. Its residents have come from walks of life as varied as landed gentry to those who found refuge in St. Luke’s workhouse, which once stood on this very site. Today, the community’s output looks a little different. Where once the area’s craftspeople were known for creating fine objects with their hands, transporting their wares across London and the Empire via a network of canals and wharves, Old Street’s modern-day innovators are changing the world through ideas, exporting innovation around the globe digitally.
