  Cheapside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cheapside is a street in the City of London, which links Newgate Street with the junction of Queen Victoria Street, Cornhill, Threadneedle Street, Princes Street, Lombard Street and King William Street (via a small section called 'Poultry').
Cheapside was extensively damaged during Luftwaffe Blitz raids in late 1940 and particularly during the The Second Great Fire of London.
Cheapside is also a common English street name, meaning "market-place", the word "cheap" referring to the Old English for "sell" or "market" as opposed to "low price".
