A place to visit?... Clerkenwell

This week why not pay a visit to Clerkenwell? It is most famous as a place for artistic start-up companies, but the artists who work there need to eat and drink in interesting places, so it's good to visit. Between Barbican and Angel stations, it's very central. Exmouth Market sells all kinds of street food (weekdays only), or go for an unusual evening meal where you eat in complete darkness at Dans le noir? restaurant!
