Paternoster Row

A mounted officer of the City of London Police entering the pedestrian area on New Change and Paternoster Row in November 2004.

Paternoster Row is a street in the City of London that was a centre of the London publishing trade,[1][2] with booksellers operating from the street.[3] Paternoster Row was described as "almost synonymous" with the book trade.[4] It was part of an area called St Paul's Churchyard. In time Paternoster Row itself was used inclusively of various alleys, courts and side streets. Largely destroyed during aerial bombing in World War II, the street's area is now the site of much of Paternoster Square.
