Farringdon Within is a compact ward of the City of London lying inside the line of the old Roman and medieval walls. Despite its small size it has a layered character: narrow, ancient streets and churchyards sit alongside Victorian and modern office buildings, while the ward’s governance - an alderman and common councilmen - reflects the City’s medieval borough structure.
The area is close to landmarks such as Smithfield and the Barbican, and its economy mixes legal and financial firms with residential apartments and specialist businesses. Historic touches turn up in places - from surviving guildhalls and parish churches to archaeological finds when sites are redeveloped - giving the ward a strong sense of continuity between London’s past and its contemporary commercial life.
