Dowgate
Dowgate is a small ward in the City of London, the historic and financial centre of London. The ward is bounded to the east by Swan Lane and Laurence Poutney Lane, to the south by the River Thames, to the west by Cousin Lane and College Hill, and to the north by Cannon Street. It is where the Walbrook watercourse emptied into the Thames.
A number of City livery companies are quartered in the ward: the Worshipful Company of Dyers, Worshipful Company of Innholders, Worshipful Company of Skinners and Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers. There is one church: St. Michael Paternoster,〔Betjeman described it as A round colonnaded temple with round urns on it, a middle stage with curving corbels, more urns, round turret supporting a vane. 〕 which houses 'The Mission to Seafarers'. The ward also contains Cannon Street station, which is on the site of a medieval steelyard, and on Upper Thames Street the only London Fire Brigade station within the City of London.
