On the streets
A walk around Blackfriars, London EC4, May 2025
A street walk around the historic lanes of Blackfriars, the area between Ludgate Hill ahd the River. This area is named after the Dominican friars who had their friary bordering the Fleet River. Later an Elizabethan theatre was located there in Playhouse Yard. King Henry VIII's Bridewell Palace was on the River Thames across the Fleet River and the Great Wardrobe (the royal wardrobe) was located in Wardrobe Court, off Carter Lane.
