ABOUT

Lombard Street is a street notable for its connections with the City of London's merchant, banking and insurance industries, stretching back to medieval times. It has often been compared with Wall Street in New York City. Lombard Street extends west from that crossroads to the complex junction at the Bank of England. The unusual street takes its name from the Lombards who came to England from Italy.
