Kingsway Place Overview
Kingsway Place occupies one of Clerkenwell’s most historic sites; from a palace of King Henry VIII’s, to a gin distillery, to a prison and a workhouse. The site has seen a wide and eclectic range of custodians.
The current building was constructed in 1892 as the Hugh Myddelton School. Designed by the Architect T.J. Bailey and officially opened by The Prince of Wales in 1893, the Victorian school ran until 1971 before continuing life as an art & design college until the late 1990s.
In 1999 Hurford Salvi Carr acquired the building for Persimmon Homes and went on to sell the 42 apartments in 2001.
Persimmon Homes employed three cutting edge interior architects; Johnson Naylor, Arc and de Metz Green to design the former classrooms into luxury, double height, loft style apartments.
Set in its own walled environment with large grounds and communal gardens shaded by plane trees, Kingsway Place remains one of the most sought after buildings by residential occupiers. Residents also enjoy the benefits of a daytime porter and allocated parking.
