Aldersgate Street is near the Barbican Estate and Centre, close to St Bartholomew's Hospital, and the Museum of London, making it a great central location to visit the many attractions London has to offer. Barbican tube station is located on Aldersgate Street, and was formerly known as Aldersgate station. The Aldersgate ward is delimited by Aldersgate Street, Beech Street, Noble Street, Angel Street, King Edward Street and Montague Street. Aldersgate contains the largest resident population in the City, which includes the Barbican Estate, where the estimated population is close to 5000 residents.
The ward is also the location of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the City of London School for Girls. The old gate was demolished in the early part of the 17th Century, and rebuilt in the same period from a design drafted by Gerard Christmas. The gate was damaged in the Great Fire of London, but was repaired and remained until the late 18th century. Aldersgate Street contained the Bishop of London's Chapel and his chambers at London House, which was used from the eighteenth century because it was closer to St Paul's Cathedral than his official residence located in Fulham. Aldersgate Street is the home to the church of St Botolph and the site of the meeting room where John Wesley reaffirmed his faith in 1738, which is marked by a plaque. To the south of St Botolphs is Postman's Park, named for the former principle sorting office in King Edward Street; it is the location of The Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice.
The house of Sarah Sawyer, in Rose and Rainbow Court which is the approximately site of the Museum of London, formed one of the earliest Quaker meetings in London. In the later quarter of the 17th Century it became a dedicated meeting house, the Box Meeting, used mainly by Quaker women for poor relief. It was whilst at a Moravian Church meeting in Aldersgate in the spring of May 1738 and during a reading of Dr. Martin Luther's Commentary on Romans that the Rev. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, reported his heart strangely warmed, an event he described as his conversion. Aldersgate is one of 25 wards in the City of London, each electing an Alderman, to the Court of Aldermen and Commoners, the City of London equivalent of a Councillor, to the Court of Common Council of the City of London Corporation. Only members of the electorate who are Freemen of the City of London are entitled to stand for this prestigious position.
