I lived in Clerkenwell and the Barbican from teenage through mid 20s and I loved walking through the market. Sometimes if up early or pulling an all nighter to study I’d go walk there at 4am to see all the traders in action. This is truly a damn shame.
- flipbrad 4y agoHappy but blurry memories of emerging from a night in Fabric, watching the market workers doing their thing.
- bennyelv 4y agoHaha you and hundreds of thousands of others I expect - Turmills and Fabric closed down a long time ago now (late 00’s I think?)
- will_asouka 4y agoTurnmills gone but Fabric still reppin
- dcminter 4y agoI used to pop into SoS bar adjacent to Fabric on a Sunday morning for brunch. Somewhere I have a video of my cutlery being vibrated across the table by the bass from Fabric, so I guess they were still hard at play at 11am... Smithfields used to be where the discerning drinker went to get a very late (or very early) pint in the local pubs as they had special licenses to cater to the market workers coming off shift. By the time I lived in the city the late licensing rules had been relaxed though.
