As Rooks Rider Solicitors embarks on a new chapter, we’re thought we would share some insights into our new neighbourhood – Dowgate Hill. Located in the historic heart of London, Dowgate Hill is not just a strategic choice for our operations; it’s a place steeped in history and bustling with activity, reflecting the dynamic spirit of our firm.
A Rich Historical Tapestry
Dowgate Hill, situated within the ward of Dowgate in the City of London, offers a unique blend of history and modernity. Historically, this area was one of the original gates in London’s Roman walls and has been a centre of commerce and trade for centuries. It is home to several ancient livery companies, including the Skinners and Tallow Chandlers, which have been part of London’s commercial fabric since the medieval period.
Strategic Location for Business
Our new location at Dowgate House is just a stone’s throw from Cannon Street Station, one of London’s major transport hubs. This proximity to major transport links is beneficial not only for our team’s commuting needs but also for clients visiting from both within and outside London. The area is well-served by the Underground, providing easy access via the District and Circle lines, and by national rail services.
Cultural and Commercial Hub
Dowgate Hill is surrounded by landmarks and facilities that make it a vibrant place to work and visit. It’s close to iconic structures such as The Shard and the historic Tower of London, offering plenty to explore for those visiting our offices. The nearby River Thames provides a scenic backdrop, ideal for lunch breaks or after-work strolls, enhancing the work-life balance for our team.
Modern Amenities in a Historic Setting
Despite its historical roots, the area around Dowgate Hill is not stuck in the past. It boasts modern amenities and facilities that cater to the needs of contemporary businesses. From bustling cafes and restaurants to state-of-the-art fitness centres, the area blends old-world charm with modern convenience, ensuring that our team and clients can enjoy the best of both worlds.
