Visiting Saffron Hill Walkfo Preview
Saffron Hill is a street in the south eastern corner of the London Borough of Camden, between Farringdon Road and Hatton Garden. The name of the street derives from the fact that it was at one time part of an estate on which saffron grew. In 1850, it was described as a squalid neighbourhood, the home of paupers and thieves. In Charles Dickens’s novel Oliver Twist, the Artful Dodger leads Oliver to Fagin’s den in Field Lane.
