Clerkenwell – an ancient parish of London that was once home to the Knights Templar now has a rich design history. The Evening Standard claims that the area has more creative architects in one square mile than anywhere else on the planet. Between the creative studios and furniture showrooms you'll find some of the best coffee in London, amazing pubs and food from every corner of the world.
With a history that goes back to 1080, this small but perfectly formed museum tells the story of The Order of St John, and how the Knight’s in Jerusalem led eventually to the St John’s ambulance service. The museum is housed in the Order’s building, a mixture of church, castle, stately home and museum – all stained glass, worn stone and smooth wooden benches. The Museum is as much about the environment itself as the fascinating story and the enthusiastic tour guides.
