Dickens to Diamonds: Hatton Garden (3777)

The arrival of the Lizzie Line has transformed Farringdon station but behind it, the original street pattern and fascinating historic tales of the area remain.  Discover quirky furniture and housing in Clerkenwell before reaching London's original Little Italy where Italian ice-cream vendors and organ grinders contributed to a colourful street life, only a stone’s throw from the narrow alleyways which inspired Fagin’s Den and London’s diamond quarter named after a favourite courtier of Elizabeth I. After stories of cinema, machine guns and gem heists you emerge into a quiet street, once part of Cambridgeshire.
