Wheatsheaf Alley

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

South out of Upper Thames Street to Old Swan Wharf, west of Fishmongers' Hall Street (O.S.).


First mention: O. and M. 1677.

Founded on site of the Wheatsheaf public house, anciently " Whiteley's Rents" (Trans. L. and M. Arch. Soc. N.S. II. (2), p.198).

"Wheatsheaf Wharf" is mentioned in L.C.C. List, 1912.

The site of the alley seems to be occupied by Fishmongers' Hall Street, there being no passage out of Upper Thames Street to the River between Fishmongers' Hall Street and Black Raven Court.
