Fleet Street

Fleet street is a major avenue running through the centre of London, home to the Royal Courts of Justice and the oldest and most powerful of the cities Inns of Law. It was once home to the Knights Templar, whose Chapter house known simply as "The Temple" sits just off the Street.

In more recent centuries it has been known as the heart of the Nations Press, but as these institutions have faded into irrelevance they have appropriately vacated the ancient splendor that they once occupied.

It remains perhaps the best place to see London as she was, with much of its Victorian architecture remaining intact and in use to this day.
