Moorgate takes its name from a gate in the wall around London and is a rather late-built street within the City of London.

Moorgate was one of the City of London’s northern gates in its defensive wall. It did not originate during the Roman era and was the last gate to be built. It took its name from the Moorfields, an area of marshy land that lay immediately north of the London wall.

The gate was demolished in 1762, but gave its name to this major street, Moorgate - laid out in 1834.

It absorbed the southern part of Finsbury Pavement in 1922.
