Cheap is a small ward in the City of London. It stretches west to east from King Edward Street, the border with Farringdon Within ward, to Old Jewry, which adjoins Walbrook; and north to south from Gresham Street, the border with Aldersgate and Bassishaw wards, to Cheapside, the boundary with Cordwainer and Bread Street wards. The name Cheap derives from the Old English word "chep" for "market".〔cheap, ''n.'', I.2.''b.'', ''Oxford English Dictionary'', Second Edition, 1989, Oxford University Press.〕 The following roads run north to south across the ward: St. Martin's Le Grand,〔http://www.moveandstay.com/offices_description.asp?id=1320 Details of junction〕 Foster Lane, Gutter Lane, Wood Street, Milk Street, King Street, and Ironmonger Lane.
