Lower Thames Street

Thames Street, divided into Lower and Upper Thames Street, is a road in the City of London. The London Bridge underpass marks the divide between Upper and Lower Thames Street, with Lower to the east and Upper to the west. In the sixteenth century, it contained the London residences of many of King Henry VIII’s courtiers. In 1848, the ruins of a Roman bath were excavated. The street was badly bombed during the Blitz in World War II and is now home to many office buildings.
