Farringdon is a place in London.
It is partly within the City of London and partly in the London Borough of Islington. It is the site of Farringdon station. The name originates from the names of wards of the old City (Farringdon Within, Farringdon Without).
Today, as a place Farringdon is somewhat ill-defined, its original site and layout having perhaps been lost under later development: little more than the station and a few street names help to locate it now.
