Lant Street
Lant Street is a street south of Marshalsea Road in Southwark, south London, England.〔(Lant Street Association ).〕〔(Lant Street ), LondonTown.com.〕 ==Overview== At the northwest end is the Southwark Bridge Road and at the southeast end is Borough High Street. Close by, just to the north in Borough High Street, is the historic St George the Martyr church, where the Charles Dickens character Little Dorrit was married in Dickens' book of the same name. The area around Lant Street has many Dickens associations.〔Walter Dexter ''(The London of Dickens )''. E. P. Dutton, 1925.〕 The street is also one of main locations of the plot of Sarah Waters' ''Fingersmith''. The word Lant refers to aged urine, used for cleaning, in the manufacture of gunpowder, and ale and pastry making. The road is named, however, in remembrance of the Lant family and Thomas Lant who inherited and owned the nearby land and rented out several hundred homes there from the 18th Century. There is a Lant Street Association for people who live and work in Lant Street.〔 Two historic pubs, the ''Princes of Wales'' at No. 23〔(Princes of Wales, Borough ).〕 and the ''Gladstone Arms'' at No. 64〔(Gladstone Arms, Borough ).〕 are located in Lant Street.
