Farringdon Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farringdon Road is a road in Clerkenwell, Central London, part of the A201 road connecting King's Cross to Elephant and Castle. It goes south-east from King's Cross, crossing Roseberry Avenue, then turns south crossing Clerkenwell Road before going past Farringdon station. It finishes on the border between the City of London, the London Borough of Camden and the London Borough of Islington, at an intersection with Charterhouse Street and Farringdon Street.
Farringdon Road follows the course of the River Fleet, London's largest subterranean river, whose central section was covered in the 1860s with the construction of the Metropolitan Railway.
Amongst the notable buildings on Farringdon Road is the headquarters of The Guardian newspaper at no. 119 and the western side of Smithfield Market.
