Lothbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lothbury is in the City of London, between Gresham Street at its western end and Throgmorton Street to the east. The area was populated with coppersmiths in the Middle Ages before later becoming home to a number of merchants and bankers. The Bank of England is on the southern side of Lothbury, and some of Sir John Soane’s work dating from 1788 can be seen today. Opposite the Bank is the church of St Margaret Lothbury by Wren. 41 Lothbury is a particularly noteworthy office building, with its interior columns, marble walls and floor. Lothbury is not far from the Royal Exchange. At one point it was planned to open a Lothbury tube station on the Northern City Line, but this was abandoned because of financial constraints. Today the nearest London Underground station is Bank, which can be reached via Princes Street, a short way to the south.
