The Street
Coleman Street is a one-way road that runs from Gresham Street to London Wall. The church of St. Stephen Coleman Street, used to stand at the southern end of the street, on the western side, until it was completely destroyed in the Blitz and was not rebuilt. At the northern end of the street stands the livery hall of the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers.
On the night of 5 January 1642, after the king's failed attempt to arrest them, five MPs, Pym, Hampden, Haselrig, Strode and Holles, hid on Coleman Street utilising the support for parliament that tended to be afforded by sympathisers in the City of London.
