Chiswell Street


Chiswell Street is in Islington, London, England.

Location

The street, in St Luke's, Islington, runs east-west and forms part of the B100 road. At the west end it becomes Beech Street, with Silk Street running from the south of that junction, and Whitecross Street heading north. At its east end it meets Finsbury Square.
The western junction marks the boundary of the City of London with Islington: Whitecross and Chiswell are in Islington, while Beech and Silk are in the City.

Whitbread Brewery

The southern block between Silk Street and Milton Street is occupied by the Grade II-listed Whitbread Brewery. In 1750, Samuel Whitbread consolidated production from two smaller breweries, the Goat Brewhouse, where porter was produced, and a brewery in Brick Lane used to produce pale and amber beers, on a much larger site. Considerable expansion followed, and beer was brewed here for 225 years, until it closed in 1976.
Part of the complex is now The Brewery, a conference and events venue, and part of it the Montcalm London City Hotel.

Other buildings

The Jugged Hare pub on the corner with Silk Street is also Grade II listed.
