Drapers' Gardens
Drapers Gardens is a site in the City of London at the junction of Throgmorton Avenue and Copthall Avenue on land owned by the Drapers' Company, originally forming gardens it was largely built over by the early twentieth century. It has been the site of two major office blocks since the 1960s.
==Drapers' Gardens before the 1960s==
Before the building of a comprehensive sewage system in London during the later nineteenth century the site had been largely undeveloped since Roman time as it was waterlogged by tributaries of the River Walbrook. During the period from the first occupation by the Drapers' Company in 1544〔Tom Girtin 'The Triple Crowns, A narrative history of the Drapers' Company 1364-1964' London 1964. p122 and 225〕 it was a market garden and place of recreation, After the Great Fire of London the west side was built over.〔Tom Girtin 'The Triple Crowns, A narrative history of the Drapers' Company 1364-1964' London 1964. p260〕 Over the following two hundred years the remainder of the gardens remained a largely open space but were finally built over in 1873〔Tom Girtin 'The Triple Crowns, A narrative history of the Drapers' Company 1364-1964' London 1964. p335〕 (except for a small patch to the east of Throgmorton Avenue, now the gardens of Drapers' Hall) . The buildings standing within the boundary of the Drapers' Company property line on the west side of Throgmorton Avenue were demolished to make way for the Seifert Tower.
