Few parts of London have such a fascinating history as the patch between Lincoln’s Inn and Old Bailey. Urban since the Middle Ages, it is a place where old professions, guilds and crafts flourished, notably law.
Inner and Middle Temple is London’s oldest live/work estate. Barristers still live over the shop, in chambers, but with the arrival of global law firms, the district is changing. Whereas in the past, any new homes were crash pads, nowadays lavish apartments are being built for high earners.
Duplexes with terraces at St Dunstan’s Court, pictured, in Fetter Lane, overlook splendid gardens belonging to King’s College. Residents have access to this green sanctuary as well as an on-site residents’ club. Prices from £1.95 million. Call JLL on 020 3675 0673.
