About Broadband in Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell is in City of London. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 892 Mbps, well above the UK average of 69 Mbps. Most major providers cover the area, so there is a reasonable amount of competition on price.

What's Happening with Broadband in Clerkenwell?
Clerkenwell sits in one of the best-connected parts of the UK for full fibre broadband. As a densely built inner-London district within the City of London, it benefits from both Openreach's national FTTP network and strong competition from London-focused altnets. Typical download speeds here reach around 892 Mbps on a full fibre connection, comfortably ahead of the UK national average and well above the gigabit threshold.
Nationally, gigabit-capable broadband now covers around 89% of UK premises, with full fibre (FTTP) availability at approximately 82% (as of Spring 2026, per Ofcom). In central London, and Clerkenwell in particular, availability tends to run higher than the national figure, driven by the density of the housing stock and strong commercial demand in the area.
Community Fibre is the most active altnet in this part of London, offering full fibre packages at competitive prices and serving a large portion of EC1 postcodes. Openreach also covers the area, meaning residents can choose from a wide range of ISPs including BT, Sky, EE, and Vodafone running over the same underlying fibre network.
One change worth noting: Openreach has confirmed the old analogue phone network (PSTN) will be switched off in January 2027. Around 1.9 million UK lines have not yet moved to a digital alternative, according to a June 2026 statement from Openreach. If you still use a traditional landline in Clerkenwell, now is the time to check whether your service is being migrated to a VoIP or digital alternative by your provider.
