Gresham Street

Gresham Street

Gresham Street, in the City of London, is named after Thomas Gresham and runs from St. Martin's Le Grand near St Paul's Cathedral in the west, past Guildhall, to Lothbury in the east. There is a memorial garden on the site of St Mary Aldermanbury, a Wren church that, following damage in the Blitz, was dismantled and rebuilt in Fulton, Missouri. Near Guildhall is the church of St Lawrence Jewry, also by Wren. The nearest London Underground stations are St Paul’s, which can be reached via St. Martin's Le Grand, a short way to the south from its western end, and Bank, which can be reached via Princes Street, a short way to the south from its eastern end. It is home to the Lloyds TSB Headquarters.
