Langbourn
Your Ward's Priorities
Overview & brief
history
Langbourn Ward runs from Billiter Street (off Fenchurch Street)
from its east boundary to Bank junction on its west boundary. It
generally comprises retail businesses and companies that are just
north of Fenchurch Street and Lombard Street up to Cornhill.
The Ward encompasses a large area of Leadenhall Market, which
has a thriving retail community comprising quality shops, licensed
premises and food outlets. The market is renowned for its
architecture, which has evolved from the 'Leadenhall,' a lead
roofed mansion owned by Sir Hugh Neville in 1309, to its current
Victorian structure built by the Corporation of London in 1881.
There are also many other well established quality shops, including
Marks & Spencers, Fenchurch Street .
There are two churches - the Church of St Edmund the King on
Lombard Street, and the Church of St Mary Woolnorth, Lombard
Street.
