Bassishaw

Bassishaw is one of the 25 wards of the City of London, with the City forming the historic and financial centre of Greater London, England. While all 25 wards within the small, 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km), City are themselves small, Bassishaw is historically the City's smallest. It is bounded by four wards: Coleman Street, east; Cheap, south; Cripplegate, north; Aldersgate, west.

It first consisted of Basinghall Street with the courts and short side streets off it, but since a boundary review in 2003 (after which the ward expanded into Cripplegate Within) it extends to streets further west, including Aldermanbury, Wood Street, and, to the north, part of London Wall and St Alphage Garden.
