Overview & brief history
Coleman Street is located central of the North area, from
Chiswell Street at its northern-most point to Gresham Street and
Lothbury to the south, Silk Street to the west to Blomfield Street
to the east, Coleman Street ward is one of the busiest wards, with
upwards of 300 businesses ... and one bowling green! It even has
its own website;
http://www.colemanstreet.com/ (opens in a new
window). The Ward is also home to around 20 bars and
restaurants and approximately 35 shops. However, the ward has very
few residential properties.
Coleman Street gave its name to the ward in around 1224. It is
believed the name was derived from St Coleman, the saint to which
the parish church of St Stephen Coleman Street may have been
dedicated.
Coleman Street's only livery company, The Armourers &
Brasiers' Co, is situated at Armourers Hall on the corner of
Coleman Street and London Wall, this being the original site of the
'Dragon and two Shoppes'. The Company has occupied this site since
1346, surviving both the Great Fire and the
Blitz, though the Hall, rebuilt in 1839, now looks incongruous
among its glass-and-steel neighbours.
