Gropecunt Lane

This City street that runs beside the Guildhall is usually quiet, except for newlyweds seeking photo ops beside the romantic street sign - a far cry from the bad old days when it seethed with ladies of the night: like Silver Street, Milk Street, Bread Street and Gropecunt Lane, Love Lane was named for what it had to offer.

Gropecunt Lane was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas.
