Cardinal Cap Alley
Cardinal Cap Alley dates from 1360 and marks the beginning of the area where most of Bankside's medieval brothels were. The alley once led to an inn and brothel named the Cardinal's Hat. No. 49, known as Cardinal Wharf, is the oldest house on Bankside. Though there is a plaque on the building proclaiming the fact that Wren lived here when rebuilding St Pauls, this seems unlikely as the building dates from the 18th century.
