Farringdon Road

Farringdon Road is a road in Clerkenwell, London. Its construction, which took almost 20 years between the 1840s and the 1860s, is considered one of the greatest urban engineering achievements of the 19th century. Not only was it one of the first engineered multi-lane roads, but it also buried the River Fleet in a system of underground tunnels, solving one of London's most daunting sanitary problems.

Trade (nightclub)

Trade is a highly successful, pioneering and influential gay nightclub started in 1990 by Laurence Malice and Tim Stabler. The idea for Trade came from the brief but seminal club nite Troll (1988–89), at the Sound Shaft Heaven where some of Trade's first DJ's used to play. Trade was unlike any other club at the time as it opened from 4am Sunday morning until 1pm on Sunday afternoon at Turnmills, Clerkenwell Road, London. The club was touted as "the original all night bender".
