Bishopsgate Escorts

Bishopsgate is a thoroughfare and ward within the eastern part of the City of London, extending north from Gracechurch Street to Norton Folgate. A fantastic central location which is ideal for a tryst with one of our beautiful, stunning and sexy London escorts.

Bishopsgate is named after one of the original seven gates in London Wall, the position of this gate is discernible by a stone Bishop's Mitre, attached and seen high on a building, situated at the junction of Wormwood Street and Camomile Street intersecting with Bishopsgate.

The ward is confined by Worship Street to the north, where the perimeter of the City meets the London Boroughs of Islington and Hackney, and London Wall to the south of the ward. It bounds Portsoken ward and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the east. The western boundary is formed by Old Broad Street, where the ward meets Broad Street ward.

Bishopsgate Within was originally divided into many parish’s each with its own designated parish church and comprised of St Andrew Undershaft, St Ethelburga Bishopsgate, St Martin Outwich, St Mary Axe and St Helen's Bishopsgate. Today the many parishes have been amalgamated under the jurisdiction St Helen’s Bishopsgate. St Helen's is a very historic medieval church and former monastic establishment with many ancient funerary monuments. The church also contains a stained glass window depicting Shakespeare, commemorating this very famous former parishioner who lived in the area in the early to mid 16th Century.

In its long and infamous past Bishopsgate was the location of many coaching inns which provided accommodation for passengers setting out on the Old North Road. The coaching inns although they survived the Great Fire of London, have now all been demolished. The modern White Hart pub, to the north of St Botolph's, is the successor of an inn of the same name.

Others coaching inns included the Dolphin, the Flower Pot, the Green Dragon, the Wrestlers, the Angel and the Black Bull. The name of an inn called the Catherine Wheel which was demolished in the early 20th Century is commemorated by Catherine Wheel Alley which leads off Bishopsgate to the east. The 17th century facade of Sir Paul Pindar's House, demolished to make way for Liverpool Street Station in 1890, on Bishopsgate was preserved and can now be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the 18th century this grand residence became a tavern called Sir Paul Pindar's Head. A further inn demolished and then re-erected in Chelsea, was the old Crosby Hall, a one time the residence of Richard III of England and Thomas More.

Modern day Bishopsgate has gone through major change over the years and is now a commercial centre which employs 46,000 people who work in the ward. Due to the expansion of the commercial sector the residential population has declined and fallen to less than 100 or so permanent residents.
