Temple Bar Memorial (London, United Kingdom)

The Temple Bar Memorial in London is one of the markers delineating the boundary of the City of London. It stands outside the Law Courts in Fleet Street and divides the City from the City of Westminster. The name “temple” comes from the Temple Church of the Knights Templar which stood nearby. That site is now occupied by the Inner and Middle Temple, two of the legal Inns of Court. The current memorial is a representation of a griffin, which was the common form of City boundary marker, and dates from 1880. Previously there had been a much larger gateway in Portland stone designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1672. An image of this gateway is carved into the plinth of the current memorial. By the late 19th century it was the only remaining gateway to the City, was becoming dilapidated and held up traffic. It was removed to Theobalds Park where it remained until 2003 when it was restored and reconstructed in Paternoster Square at St Paul’s Cathedral. On state occasions when the monarch is going into the City he or she stops at the Temple Bar as a courtesy to acknowledge the boundary.
