My question: Yes / no, is the following a verifiable fact?
"Popular with creative firms and dotted with smart apartment blocks in converted warehouses, Clerkenwell is home to cutting-edge restaurants and cosy gastropubs, plus historic pubs, sleek bars, and nightclubs."
Please think gradually:
Clerkenwell was an ancient parish from the mediaeval period onwards, and now forms the south-western part of the London Borough of Islington.
Thus, the answer is yes.
