About Dowgate

Dowgate lies in the City of London's financial heart, surrounded by the Thames and centuries-old streets where Roman traders once operated. Driving here means entering the congestion charge zone with very limited parking - most visitors use nearby multi-storey car parks at Bank or Monument. The A3211 Upper Thames Street provides the main riverside approach, whilst the A201 from London Bridge offers a popular local route. The area boasts over 11,700 EV charging points for those navigating London's emission zones.
