Brittania Place

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

West out of Bishopsgate Street at No. 183. In Bishopsgate Ward Without (O.S. 1848-50).


Former names "Bottle Alley" (O. and M. 1677-Elmes, 1831). "Bottle Yard" (Strype).

It was probably so called on account of its conformation, as Strype tells us that the entrance to it was narrow (ed. 1720, I. ii. 108).

Demolished (O.S. 1875).

The site is now occupied by Liverpool Street Station, etc.
