Moorgate is a street in the district “City of London” (population as of 2016: 9401), right in the heart of the English capital. Moorgate is named after one of the city’s first entrance-gates back in the fifteenth century, then sitting on the edge of the city. Today the area is unofficially referred to as the “Moorgate Area”, however, there is no official distinction as such. Moorgate Station opened in 1865, by which point the area was mostly home to financial institutions along with several historic buildings. Moorgate station is located 4.2km/2.6mi east-northeast of Buckingham Palace and 10km/6.2mi west of London City Airport (both measurements in linear distance) in the center of the metropolis.
