Location
Lloyd Square is the central area of the renowned Lloyd Baker estate situated in Clerkenwell, Islington, south of the Angel. The square has a beautiful and well kept private garden and is closed off from through traffic.
The area is remarkable for its transport connections. St Pancras International has the Eurostar link to continental Europe, and, with King's Cross, has main line connections to the north. The redeveloped Farringdon Station has the new Elizabeth Line with fast link to Heathrow airport and Thames Link to Gatwick and Luton. The square is less than 1.5 miles from St Paul's Cathedral and the City of London.
The King's Cross area, nicknamed the "Knowledge Quarter", is less than a mile away and includes the British Library, the Crick Institute, the Alan Turing Institute and some of the world's most innovative companies including Google, with a new HQ due to be finished in 2024.
