There were, according to Ekwall, at least four Love Lanes in early modern London: the first, Love Lane (Wood Street), another east from Coleman Street
, a third by Lower Thames Street (see Love Lane (Thames Street)), and a fourth in St. Christopher [Broad St], now lost
(165). Love Lane (Wood Street) was, as so called of wantons
(Stow 1:296).
A haunt of prostitutes in the middle ages(Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 516). Harben records
after an owner named(Harben; BHO). Rawlings similarly questionsLove
lovein the title might have been
named from innocent everyday romances(73).
Important sites stood at each end of Love Lane (Wood Street). At its west end, intersecting with Wood Street, stood St. Alban (Wood Street) church. At the east end was the Aldermanbury Conduit, which appears as a small building with a crenellated roof and two entrance arches on the Agas map. At the east intersection of Love Lane (Wood Street) with Aldermanbury (heading south) and Gayspur Lane (heading north) was the church of St. Mary Aldermanbury.
Love Lane still exists in modern London.
