Ward of Aldersgate, Administrative ward in City of London, England.
The Aldersgate ward extends from the former northern gate location through central London, containing sections of the Roman London Wall and modern office buildings.
The ward's name derives from Ealdredesgate, first recorded around 1000 AD, marking a gate added to the Roman wall during the later Roman period.
The ward maintains two Livery Company buildings, Ironmongers' Hall and Plaisterers' Hall, which function as centers for traditional City of London ceremonies.
The area divides into Aldersgate Within and Without sections, following the ancient wall line, with specific electoral representation in the Court of Common Council.
Postman's Park within the ward contains a memorial wall displaying plaques that record acts performed by individuals who died while saving others.
