Facts About Bishopsgate

Once part of London’s fortress wall, Bishopsgate is an ancient area of the city and, as such, it has a long and fascinating history. Today, the area is known as a major financial hub. However, despite being one of the busiest areas of London, Bishopsgate has just 222 permanent residents. Below are a few other interesting facts about Bishopsgate:

  • Bishopsgate is named after one of the original seven gates in the London Wall.
  • Originally a Roman structure, the Bishop's Gate was rebuilt by the Hansa merchants in 1471 in exchange for steelyard privileges.
  • The gate once displayed the heads of criminals on spikes.
  • Bishopsgate was originally the location of many coaching inns which accommodated passengers setting out on the Old North Road, making it a popular target for highwaymen of the age.
  • There are over 500 banks resident in the City of London - and most of them are foreign.
  • The City of London is the centre of global foreign exchange dealing. Over 40% of all the world’s foreign exchange transactions are made in the UK.
  • There are more international telephone calls made from the City of London than anywhere else in the UK.
  • Despite being the most ancient part of London, the City of London looks distinctly modern. That is because it has been almost entirely destroyed and rebuilt twice: once in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and then again after being bombed in the Second World War.

Cost of Living in Bishopsgate

Being home to one of the world’s top financial districts,  long term guests can expect the cost of living in Bishopsgate and the City of London to be fairly high. Of course, costs will vary hugely according to individual lifestyle, however, it is likely that rent will be the most significant expenditure. Bishopsgate rents can be anywhere from £1778-£3318 per month, depending on the size of the property. Serviced accommodation can often work out cheaper than the standard rental market, however, as they over better cost-efficiency over long term stays. Another cost to consider is travel, which again will depend on the itinerary of the traveller. Thankfully, this is reasonably easy to budget for in any case: A weekly Zone 1 - 2 travel card for use on buses, trains and tube will cost around £38.40.

Whilst both travel and rent can easily be costed upfront, other costs, such as entertainment and food, will vary according to lifestyle. A meal for two in central London can cost anywhere between £40 and £200 depending on the restaurant. With regards to an evening out, drinks can also be pricier in the city centre with the average pint of beer or a glass of wine being upwards of £6. However, despite London’s reputation as an expensive city, there are plenty of ways to keep the costs down. For example, there are plenty of discount schemes available for popular restaurants, in which two diners eat for the price of one. Similarly, many bars will have happy hours and cinemas often have 2-4-1 days every week. In this sense, a little research can yield huge savings on day to day entertainment and socialising.
