Aldgate, Administrative ward in City of London, England
The Ward of Aldgate extends from the former eastern gate of London Wall, encompassing Aldgate High Street and sections of Fenchurch Street.
The area received its name from the eastern gate of London's defensive wall, first documented in 1052 as Æst geat, marking entry routes to Colchester.
The district contains St Botolph's Aldgate church from 1115 and the Bevis Marks Synagogue of 1698, representing centuries of religious development.
The ward boundaries underwent modifications in 2013, incorporating areas beyond the original city wall and connecting the district with Whitechapel.
The Aldgate Pump, established in 1700, functioned as a measurement point for calculating distances into Essex and Middlesex counties.
