  Victorian London - Districts- Streets - Ludgate Hill
Ludgate Hill— The appearance of this, the western approach to St. Paul’s, has been completely marred by the railway bridge of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, which crosses it at its lower end, and destroys the view from Farringdon-circus at its foot.

The name Ludgate is derived from an old gate- the sixth and principal gate of London, says Stow in his " Survey" - which was taken down in 1760.
