Chiswell Street

Chiswell Street is in the London Borough of Islington.

[1] The street, in St Luke's, Islington, runs east-west and forms part of the B100 road.

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 ale and amber ale, on a much larger site.

Considerable expansion followed, and beer was brewed here for 225 years, until Whitbread Brewery closed in 1976.

The Jugged Hare pub on the corner with Silk Street is also Grade II listed.
