The cobbled streets of Clerkenwell

Although renowned as a creative hub in London, the area of Clerkenwell is a village within the mammoth capital. It's cobbled streets, bijou bars and quirky shops give it a unique character and relaxed atmosphere that you'll find in few places in the city, nor beyond.

Dine in the dark

Clerkenwell is famous as a hive of culinary offerings, and that's probably why the founders of Diner Dans le Noir chose the area for their concept restaurant. Here you'll have a "unique sensory experience", as you eat your dinner in complete darkness, served upon by waiters, or "guides", who wear night vision goggles.
