Broad Street

Broad Street is one of the 25 ancient wards in the City of London. In mediaeval times it was divided into ten precincts and contained six churches, of which only two, St Margaret Lothbury and All Hallows-on-the-Wall now survive: St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange was demolished in 1840, St Benet Fink in 1844, St Martin Outwich 1874 and St Peter le Poer in 1907. The ward’s northern boundary along London Wall and Blomfield Street borders Coleman Street ward, before curving to the north-east along Liverpool Street, the division with Bishopsgate. From here Old Broad Street travels south-west along the border with Cornhill where it joins Throgmorton Street, its southern boundary- to the south of which are the Stock Exchange and Bank of England...
