Doughty Mews is a charming and historic mews in Clerkenwell, tucked away behind the elegant Georgian houses of Doughty Street. Dating back to the early 19th century, Doughty Mews was originally built as stable and coach house accommodation, with housing for servants serving the surrounding residences. Today, the former stables have been thoughtfully converted into attractive homes, while the mews has retained its traditional character, enhanced by its cobbled atmosphere and abundance of colourful planting that gives the street a welcoming, village-like feel.

Rich in local history, Doughty Mews takes its name from the Doughty-Tichborne family, who owned much of the surrounding land during the area’s development. Just around the corner from the Charles Dickens Museum, the mews is also home to the Egypt Exploration Society, reflecting the area’s long-standing cultural and academic connections. Its peaceful setting, fascinating heritage and central location make Doughty Mews one of Clerkenwell’s most distinctive and desirable historic mews streets.
