Ward of Cripplegate, Historic ward in City of London, England
The ward stretches across both sides of the former London Wall, divided into Cripplegate Within and Cripplegate Without sections, containing office buildings and residential areas.
Named after a northern gate in the Roman city walls built around AD 120, the ward maintained its defensive importance through medieval London until the gate's demolition in 1760.
The Barbican Estate within the ward provides residents and visitors with theater performances, art exhibitions, and musical concerts through its cultural center.
The ward functions under the City of London Corporation governance system, with elected officials representing local interests through committees and regular meetings.
Cripplegate remains the only ward in London that housed the single authorized Jewish burial ground in England following the Norman Conquest.
