Overview & brief
history
Cheapside is part of the main arterial west / east route running
through the City and consists of retail units predominantly mobile
phone outlets and coffee shops.
Major re-development is now underway in Cheapside and shall be
continuing for at least the next three years. This in turn will
produce smart new office space and a new shopping parade.
The rest of the beat is dominated by business premises and
livery companies, which include Goldsmiths Hall, Mercers Hall,
Sadlers Hall and Wax Chandlers Hall. The main business premises are
Investec and Schroders, along with Dresdner Kleinwort, who moved in
to Gresham Street premises in 2006.
Constant site visits are an important part of the ward
constable's role to maintain good relations between the businesses
and the contractors. They also attend meetings of the City of
London Corporation on such matters as health and safety, the impact
on the surrounding area, and traffic problems.
Goldsmiths Hall has many exhibitions throughout the year and due
to the nature of the valuable items on display, a police presence
is often required.There are various licensed premises on the ward.
These are generally aimed at the business community and do not tend
to operate late licenses such as those in the nearby Bow Lane /
Watling Street area.
