Kinges Street

Kinges Street:    Sale to George Monoux of six tenements described as in Lumbard Street and Kinges Street in Cornhill, 7 H. VIII. (L. and P. H. VIII. XV. p. 379).

   Not further identified.

   Possibly "Kinges Street" is merely the description of the highway, the "via regia" of early Latin deeds.

   This is probably the origin of the name of all the older streets so called, as every street of importance is described in all early deeds as "via regia," , "regia strata," etc., being the King's highway.
