Map of the UK

The Langbourn ward sits in the eastern part of the City of London, tucked between Lombard Street and Fenchurch Street. Its name preserves the memory of a long-buried stream - the "long burn" - and the area is typical of the Square Mile: compact streets and alleys, a handful of historic church sites and a dense cluster of office buildings.

Today Langbourn is dominated by financial and professional services, with a brisk daytime population and relatively few permanent residents; local civic life is maintained through ward clubs, livery companies and the City’s distinctive governance. The juxtaposition of Wren-era church sites, occasional medieval survivals and modern glass-fronted offices gives the ward a layered character that reflects the broader history of the City of London.
