About this property

An elegant top-floor apartment in a former warehouse.

Established in Clerkenwell in 1809, J. & W. Nicholson Gin Distillery was one of the world's oldest and most historically significant gin producers. The company played a pivotal role in pioneering the classic London Dry Gin style and became a cultural and economic powerhouse in Victorian London. The building's distinctive façade dates from 1828, and the site was sensitively converted into apartments in the late 1990’s, incorporating courtyard buildings, underground parking, beautifully maintained communal gardens and a day porter.
