Bassishaw is one of the compact wards of the City of London, sitting immediately north of the Guildhall and close to the line of the old London Wall. Its streets are a tight mix of historic livery halls and modern office blocks along thoroughfares such as Gresham Street, and it lies within easy walking distance of the Barbican arts complex and cultural quarter.
Named after the medieval parish church of St Michael Bassishaw, the ward retains a strong sense of the City’s guild and civic traditions even as its day-to-day life is dominated by professional and financial firms; resident numbers are low and the population swells by day with commuters. The result is a neighbourhood where medieval place-names and ceremonial functions sit alongside contemporary commercial activity.
