Fenchurch Street

Fenchurch Street is a road in the City of London. It links Aldgate at its eastern end with Lombard Street and Gracechurch Street to the west. To the south of Fenchurch Street and towards its eastern end is Fenchurch Street railway station. The entire length of the road is served by bus route 40.

Already the site of several tall buildings including Plantation Place, it is planned to be the location of a further skyscraper at 20 Fenchurch Street.

At number 71 is Lloyds Register of Shipping, where the annual journal Lloyd's Registry was previously published. The frontage on Fenchurch Street was built in 1901 by Thomas Edward Collcutt (1840-1924) and is a Grade II* listed building [ [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/search/details.aspx?pid=2&id=199440 Listing details, 71 Fenchurch Street, English Heritage] accessed 21 Jun 2007] . The more modern building, behind, was designed by Richard Rogers and towers over it. This was completed in 1999 and became a RIBA award winner in 2002.

The junction with Lime Street was formerly the location of a Christopher Wren church, St Dionis Backchurch. It was demolished in 1878. An earlier church of St Dionis on this site was mentioned c 1198.
