Bartholomew Lane
Bartholomew Lane is in Broad Street Ward and runs north-south from the junction of Throgmorton Street and Lothbury to Threadneedle Street. Bartholomew Lane is visible on the Agas map running
southeast on the west side of St. Batholomew by the
Exchange. It is labelled "bar eelmew
la." Stow was the first to
record the street as Bartholomew Lane in the 1598
edition of A Survey. Before this time, the lane was
called "St. Bartholomew the Less Lane" (Harben). According to Stow, Bartholomew Lane was mainly occupied by "diuers
faire builded houses on both sides" (Stow). The street was altered in later centuries with the
establishment and expansion of the Bank of England and the New Stock
Exchange (Harben).
