Farmiloe Building, Victorian commercial building in Clerkenwell, London, England
The Farmiloe Building is a Victorian commercial structure in Clerkenwell with three floors, tall windows, and ornamental stonework from the 1800s. The exterior displays intricate details and decorative elements that define nineteenth-century London's business architecture.
The structure was designed in 1868 by architect Lewis Henry Isaacs and served for many years as headquarters for George Farmiloe & Sons, an established local business. Following the company's relocation in 1999, the building was later comprehensively renovated and converted into modern office spaces.
The building gained recognition in the film industry as a popular filming location for major productions seeking authentic Victorian architecture. Visitors can still see the distinctive features that attracted international production companies to this site.
The building sits on St John Street in the London Borough of Islington and is easy to reach, though the interior is now used as private office spaces and not always open to visitors. The best way to experience it is by walking past to admire the Victorian facade.
The structure received recognition from Film London as location of the month in June 2005, reflecting its appeal to major film productions. This distinction reveals how much the original Victorian details fascinate filmmakers seeking authentic shooting environments.
