Crowded Bucklersbury, a small road between Victoria Street and Walbrook in the heart of the City of London. It has yielded two major Roman London finds: the Temple of Mithras and Bucklersbury Pavement mosaic. In the fourteenth century, it was ordained that exchanges of gold and silver should take place there; pepperers and grocers later took over, before they in turn were replaced by druggists and herbalists - Shakespeare's Falstaff described 'these lisping hawthorn buds, that come like women in men's apparel, and smell like Bucklersbury in simple time'.
