St John Street, London EC1V

A Lateral Clerkenwell Loft Apartment with Exceptional Design Heritage.

Few London buildings can claim such a distinguished architectural and design lineage as Pattern House, one of Clerkenwell’s most iconic landmarks. Renowned for its emerald-green glazed tiles and intricate mosaic insignia, this celebrated address stands as a testament to the area’s rich industrial and creative history.

Built by W.H. Gaze & Sons and designed by Gilbert Waghorn Architects, Pattern House was once home to the Ingersoll Watch Company, the pioneering New York firm behind the first $1 “Yankee” watch and the original Mickey Mouse watch.

In the 1950’s, the building entered a new chapter as the Vogue Pattern Factory under publishing giant Condé Nast, cementing its reputation as a hub of innovation and style.
Converted during the mid-1990s into some of London’s earliest and most distinctive residential lofts, Pattern House remains one of Clerkenwell’s most coveted buildings.

This particular apartment is a truly bespoke lateral loft, offering exceptional design throughout. The generous accommodation includes a spacious reception room with open-plan kitchen, a double bedroom, stylish bathroom, bespoke cabinetry, soaring ceilings and vast factory-style windows that flood the space with natural light. Residents also enjoy access to a communal roof terrace with panoramic skyline views across London.

Perfectly positioned at the junction of St John Street, Sekforde Street and Skinner Street, Pattern House sits in the heart of prime Clerkenwell, moments from the vibrant dining and nightlife of St John Street, Exmouth Market and West Smithfield. Everyday essentials are close at hand with a Waitrose nearby, and Farringdon Station provides superb transport links via Underground, National Rail and the Elizabeth Line, offering swift access across the capital and beyond, including Canary Wharf, the West End, and King’s Cross St Pancras for the Eurostar.

With the Museum of London’s relocation to nearby Smithfield Market now underway - a £180m project creating a new cultural destination due to open in 2028 - this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Clerkenwell’s design heritage in one of its finest loft conversions.
