About

Aldgate ward occupies the eastern edge of the City of London, historically marked by the old gate in the Roman and medieval walls. The area is defined by major transport routes like Aldgate High Street and the Minories, creating a busy intersection. It contains a mix of modern commercial office buildings and surviving historic structures, with the boundary closely following the line of the former defensive wall.

The ward includes the site of the historic Aldgate and the early 18th-century St Botolph's Aldgate church. A distinctive feature is the presence of the former Aldgate Pump, a historic water source with a stone basin still visible at the street corner. The area functions primarily as a financial and business district during the week, with a significant change in population outside of working hours.
