针线街

针线街(英语:Threadneedle Street)是伦敦市的一条街,起自家禽街、康希尔威廉王街朗伯德街的交叉路口,止于主教门

这条街以英格兰银行的所在地而著称;该银行自从1734年起就位于此处,常被称为“针线街的老小姐”。伦敦证券交易所也曾位于针线街,直到2004年迁往主祷文广场波罗的海交易所于1744年在这条街上的“弗吉尼亚和波罗的海咖啡馆”成立。

除了英格兰银行以及波罗的海交易所之外,这条街还有许多商店、银行、餐馆和办公楼。

词源

针线街名称的来源不能确定,但可能是起源于“三针街”(Three Needle Street,自1598年起),因为有描绘三根针的招牌。另一个说法是,孩子们常在那里玩“穿针引线”游戏。1598年之前,它是宽街(现在的老宽街)的一部分。[1]

这条街的名字也可能是其旧名摸屄巷英语Gropecunt Lane的委婉说法,因为这是妓女出没的著名地点[2]

英国乐队布勒有一首歌题为《针线街》,这首歌的歌词提到了股票。
