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 (north and east) are in Islington, while Beech and Silk (west and south) are in the City.

Whitbread Brewery

The southern block between Silk Street and Milton Street (once Grub 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.[1]

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.[2]

gollark: Although HTTP tries its best to alienate you from the people you interact with via the stateless request/response model, at least with unencrypted HTTP I am still aware that I am interacting with another server. TLS and so on seek to undermine this further, by forcing you to treat everyone as a faceless certificate surrounded by attackers trying to eavesdrop at all times. It thus depersonalizes and alienates you from the people you are interacting with even further.
