Welcome

Our Ward dates back to 1394 when the ‘Ward of Anketill de Auvergne’was split into Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without – named after the ancient Farindon family of landowners.

Nine hundred years on and our Ward is a key locus in the Square Mile. We are one of the largest of 25 Wards in the City – a magnet for residents and businesses alike.

Farringdon Within is an evolving local community – a bridgehead between the ancient and the modern – and a cultural microcosm of the City of London.

We have an active professional business community in the Ward, including financiers, law firms, accountants, surveyors, management consultants, insurers and bankers. And they are well served by a wide range of public and private amenities, including shops, cafes, restaurants, ancient monuments, and open spaces. This growing commercial hub has attracted a new generation of residents – young professionals (and their families) who prefer to walk to work to the chimes of St Pauls, rather than commuting in from the suburbs.

This website has been set up by your current team of elected representatives to provide a modern interactive forum for our electorate. This will enable you to raise issues that affect us all in the Ward. It will also help us to understand how policy initiatives across the board directly affect our constituents – and how they may be improved.

You will be able to register and log into take part in our interactive forum called ‘Within’ to enable you to monitor incidents of public nuisance, crime and disorder – especially in relation to late night drinking.
