Pudding Lane
Pudding Lane is a minor street in London widely known for being the location of Thomas Farriner's bakery where the Great Fire of London started in 1666. It is located off Eastcheap, near London Bridge and the Monument, in the historic City of London.
According to the chronicler John Stow, it is named after the "pudding" (a medieval word for offal) which would fall from the carts coming down the lane from the butchers in Eastcheap as they headed for the waste barges on the River Thames. In Stow's words, "the Butchers of Eastcheape have their skalding House for Hog there, and their puddings with other filth of Beasts, are voided down that way to their dung boats on the Thames."〔(Billinsgate warde ), from ''A Survey of London,'' by John Stow. Reprinted from the text of 1603. original spelling: "... commonly called Pudding Lane, because the Butchers of Eastcheape haue their skalding House for Hogges there, and their puddinges with other filth of Beastes, are voided downe that way to theyr dung boates on the Thames."〕 The original name of the lane was "Offal Pudding Lane".
The site of Farriner's bakery on Pudding Lane is now occupied by a building called Faryners House. A plaque on the wall of the building, presented by the Company of Bakers in 1986, commemorates the fire.
The nearest Underground station to Pudding Lane is Monument, a short distance to the west. The closest main line railway stations are Fenchurch Street and Cannon Street.
