Cornhill

The next position on the list of the oldest streets in London is Cornhill. A ward and street in the City of London, the historical core and financial hub of contemporary London, is called Cornhill. Between Bank Junction and Leadenhall Street, the street is located. Cornhill was first built in the 20th century.

The City of London, the historic core of the UK capital, is rich in history, and Cornhill is one of its key thoroughfares. The neoclassical Royal Exchange building, which served as a center for City traders, is located at one end of the square. Sir Christopher Wren's 1667 St. Peter-upon-Cornhill church, which dates back to 179 AD, is located at the other end.

Jonathan's and Garraway's coffee shops, where the City's earliest dealers began in the 17th century, were located on Change Alley, which runs off of it. The former was the first location in England to trade tea, while the latter was the first location to list share and commodity prices in 1698.

The hill from which it gets its name is one of London's three historic hills; the others are Ludgate Hill, which is topped by St. Paul's Cathedral, and Tower Hill, which is home to the Tower of London. Cornhill rises 17.7 meters (58 feet) above sea level at its highest point.
