Clarendon’s serviced apartments in Bank
Presided over by St Paul’s Cathedral, Bank sits amongst some of London’s most thriving areas, including Mansion House, Monument, Liverpool Street and Barbican. It was named after the Bank of England – whose headquarters were founded in the area in 1694 – and has remained one of the city’s central business hubs ever since. A centre for corporate excellence, its prosperity and drive can be felt in the air. Don’t underestimate its entertainment offerings, though – some of London’s finest restaurants and proudest landmarks are within easy walking distance. It’s ideal for those staying in serviced apartments in the City of London, who will find plenty to fill their free time.

Clarendon’s guide to living in Bank
Bank is one of the city’s liveliest business spots, so the area is packed with bars and pubs ready to feed and water the city workers that descend on them come 5pm. Whether it’s a drink in an oak-panelled pub or a casual working lunch in a bright and airy brasserie, there’s an establishment to suit every occasion.
Great food is easy to come by in Bank, thanks to the abundance of long-established restaurants close by. To take in the sunset view over St Paul’s Cathedral, head in and up to one of several sleek rooftop bars in the area. Here, you can make the most of the sprawling city skyline over an expertly made cocktail or two.
Weekends can be spent pottering around Leadenhall Market, a boutique and high-end marketplace that dates back to the 14th century, or the similarly grand Royal Exchange, whose neoclassical architecture makes the perfect backdrop for its range of luxury brands. Cultural offerings beckon at Guildhall, where an in-house art gallery plays host to some of the city’s most cherished Victorian masterpieces. A thorough debrief of the capital’s long and fascinating history is also waiting to be experienced at the nearby Museum of London.
