Aldgate (/ ˈ ɔː l ɡ eɪ t /) was a gate in the former defensive wall around the City of London.. The gate gave its name to Aldgate High Street, the first stretch of the A11 road, that takes that name as it passes through the ancient, extramural Portsoken Ward of the City of London.
Early in 1544 William Petre rented a small house on the west side of Aldersgate as a town house while engaged in his role as secretary to King Henry. Later that same year he purchased seven houses formerly the property of the neighboring St Bartholomew's Priory, adjoining the rented house.
Portsoken, traditionally referred to with the definite article as the Portsoken, [3] is one of the City of London, England's 25 ancient wards, which are still used for local elections. Historically an extra-mural ward, lying east of the former London Wall , the area is sometimes considered to be part of the East End of London .
