Lovat Lane
One not too well-known, but idyllic location is an ancient winding path down a slope lined with cobbles in the City. Lovat Lane, previously named Love Lane, is a narrow lane that leads to Lower Thames Street. Love Lane changed to Lovat Lane in 1939 and has retained its narrow width since before the war. The buildings face directly onto the lane where there’s a view of the tower of St Mary at Hill which, untypically for a City church, appears higher than its immediate surroundings
