Sweeps Building, 34 Leather Lane EC1N

Developed by Derwent London and designed by riba Stirling Prize-winning architectural practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, The Sweeps Building takes its name from the site’s original purpose as a bullion refinery, specialising in the extraction of precious metals from the floor sweepings of nearby Hatton Garden jewellery workshops.

This exclusive collection of 14 loft-style apartments forms part of The Johnson Building - a striking mixed-use urban quarter set behind an elegant Art Deco façade dating from 1927, designed by the legendary Wallis, Gilbert & Partners, renowned for iconic London landmarks including The Hoover Building, Victoria Coach Station and the emi Factory in Hayes.

Retaining elements of its industrial heritage, the apartment features expansive full-height Crittall-style windows, impressive ceiling heights and exposed cast-concrete cross-members, creating exceptional natural light, volume and authentic character throughout.

The dual-aspect main living space incorporates a contemporary open-plan kitchen with views over vibrant Leather Lane. The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful courtyard aspect and benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom includes a private balcony. A third bedroom and family bathroom complete the well-balanced lateral accommodation.

Leather Lane is one of central London’s most celebrated food destinations, home to a renowned street food market offering an eclectic mix of international cuisine. Nearby Hatton Garden remains the capital’s historic centre for jewellery and gem trading, while Clerkenwell and Farringdon - just moments away - provide an exceptional selection of restaurants, bars and cultural landmarks amid a rich architectural landscape of converted warehouses, Victorian Gothic buildings and the iconic Smithfield Market.

Outstanding transport connections include the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon, providing fast access across London and beyond.
