3About 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. The ward takes its name from the medieval "Dour Gate," an ancient entrance through London's original city wall.
