Thames Street was the longest street
in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the
complete span of the city within the walls. It passed through seven wards:
Tower Street Ward, Billingsgate Ward, Bridge (within) Ward, Downgate Ward, Vintry Ward, Queenhithe Ward, and Castle Baynard Ward.
Archaeological finds suggest that it followed an old Roman road beside the
river, from which it takes its name. The street today, twenty-five feet
above the level of the Roman road (Harben), is divided into Lower Thames Street (the section east of Southwark
Bridge) and Upper Thames Street (the
section west of Southwark Bridge).
