Smithfield
Another area I find myself being drawn to is the area around the historic Smithfield meat market. Just a few metres away from the hustle and bustle of the market there is a certain tranquility and stillness to be found. It is most noticeable at weekends, when the area is mostly deserted, particularly in the side streets and passages around Cloth Fair. In these off-the-beaten-track back streets it is possible to get a real sense of the past. John Betjeman lived at 43 Cloth Fair. There is a great blog by the Diamond Geezer all about it here!
