Hatton Garden Jewellery District
Tucked between Farringdon and Holborn, Hatton Garden has been known as London’s jewellery and diamond district since the 19th century. With over 55 jewellery shops in the area, if you’re looking to splash out or just browse some bling, this is the area for you to explore.

EAT
Exmouth Market Street Food
It wouldn’t be a market street without street food, and Exmouth Market provides plenty of options so be sure to grab your lunch from one of the market stalls. From Ghanaian Jollof rice and French crepes through to Turkish flatbreads and Mexican burritos, make your way through the options and watch your food be made right in front of you.

Panzo
For a range of artisan pizzas that can be enjoyed in a scenic outdoor terrace, Panzo is the place to be. Their outdoor seating area backs onto Spa Fields park and makes the perfect summer evening food spot.

Leather Lane
Whilst in the Clerkenwell and Farringdon area you’re guaranteed to never run out of street food options to try. Just minutes away from Farringdon station, Leather Lane has food stalls spanning the length of the lane and offers every food option you could want. The falafel wraps found here are a Plant Designs lunchtime favourite in the office!
