History and location
Fleet Street began as the road from the commercial
City of London to the political hub at
Westminster. The length of Fleet Street marks the expansion of the City in
the 14th century. At the east end of the street is where the
River Fleet flowed against the
medieval
walls of London; at the west end is the
Temple Bar which marks the current city limits, extended to there in 1329.
To the south lies an area of legal buildings known as
the Temple, formerly the property of the
Knights Templar, which at its core includes two of the four
Inns of Court: the
Inner Temple and the
Middle Temple. There are many lawyers' offices (especially
barristers' chambers) in the vicinity. Nearby, on
Strand, are the
Royal Courts of Justice and the
Old Bailey is also only a few minutes walk from Ludgate Circus.
Publishing started in Fleet Street around 1500 when
William Caxton's apprentice,
Wynkyn de Worde, set up a printing shop near Shoe Lane, while at around the
same time
Richard Pynson set up as publisher and printer next to
St Dunstan's church. More printers and publishers followed, mainly supplying
the legal trade in the four Law Inns around the area. In March 1702,
London's
first daily newspaper, The
Daily Courant, was published in Fleet Street from premises above the
White Hart Inn.
At
Temple Bar to the west, as Fleet Street crosses the boundary out of the
City of London, it becomes the
Strand; to the east, past
Ludgate Circus, the route rises as
Ludgate Hill. The nearest
tube stations are
Temple,
Chancery Lane, and
Blackfriars underground/ mainline stations and the
City Thameslink station.
Chancery Lane and
Fetter Lane are at the western end of the street.
Fleet Street is a location on the
London version of the
Monopoly board game.
Fleet Street is also famous for the barber
Sweeney Todd, traditionally said to have lived and worked in Fleet Street
(he is sometimes called "the Demon Barber of Fleet Street"). An early example of
a serial killer, the character appears in various English language works
starting in the mid-19th century. Neither the popular press, the
Old Bailey trial records, the trade directories of the City nor the lists of
the Barbers Company of the City mention any such person or indeed any such case.
