Fenchurch Street
Street in the City of London / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fenchurch Street is a street in London, England, linking Aldgate at its eastern end with Lombard Street and Gracechurch Street in the west. It is a well-known thoroughfare in the City of London financial district and is the site of many corporate offices and headquarters. The name "Fenchurch" means "church in the fenny or marshy ground"[1] and presumably refers to St Gabriel Fenchurch,[2] which stood at the junction of Fenchurch Street and Cullum Street until it was destroyed by the Great Fire.
