About Chancery Lane

Chancery Lane is a one way street directing traffic north from Fleet Street all the way to High Holborn and has formed the western boundary of The City of London since 1994. It is covered by the postcodes WC1 and WC2 and is in Travel Zone 1. Offices in the Chancery Lane area benefit from excellent transport links, with the tube station of the same name located at the junction of High Holborn with Grays Inn Road. 

Chancery Lane derives its name from the historic High Court of Chancery whose association with the area started when the Bishop of Lincoln acquired the 'old Temple' from the Knights Templar in 1161. The route was created by the Knights Templar, seeking a ‘new lane’ from their original temple in Holborn, which had been sold, to their newly acquired building to the south of Fleet Street early in the 12th century.

Historically, the street has always been associated with the legal profession, a tradition which still rings true today with the main office of the Law Society at 113 Chancery Lane and The Royal Courts of Justice to the south west. There is also a Grade II listed, Gothic building, designed and built in 1851 which now houses the Maughan Library, the largest academic library of King's College London. Serviced offices in Chancery Lane are also popular with consulting firms, media companies and financial institutions, who benefit from the professional image bestowed by the area's rich business heritage.
