EC1
EC1 — Clerkenwell, Farringdon and Smithfield
Clerkenwell empties at the weekend and that is when a good share of our work here surfaces. A car parked on Friday evening in a district that goes quiet by Saturday morning can sit on a flattening tyre for two days without anyone noticing, and the call comes on Sunday. During the week, Smithfield and the streets around Farringdon carry early market and delivery traffic, Hatton Garden and Exmouth Market have narrow loading kerbs, and Old Street sits at the top of it all with a layout that has been rebuilt more than once.

Getting to you
This is congestion charge ground with metered parking and short, contested loading bays. Around St Bartholomew's Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital, name the car park rather than the entrance. Several of the older streets here have cobbled or setted surfaces, which is worth mentioning because a jack needs a flat, firm base and we will bring boards for it.
