Gresham Street /ɡrɛʃəm/ in the City of London is named after the English merchant and financier Thomas Gresham.

It runs from the junction of Lothbury, Old Jewry and Coleman Street at its eastern end, to St. Martin's Le Grand in the west. Gresham Street was created in 1845 by widening and amalgamating Cateaton Street, Maiden Lane, St. Anne's Lane and Lad Lane.[2]

The nearest London Underground stations are St Paul's, which can be reached via St. Martin's Le Grand to the south from its western end, and Bank, via Lothbury and Princes Street, a short distance to the south from its eastern end.
