New Bridge Street
Blackfriars. (EC4) Stands where the Fleet River flowed, in the immediate vicinity of which a monastery of the Black Friars formerly stood. The precinct is rendered famous for the residence of Sir Anthony Vandyke, the painter, who died here; also of Sir Samuel Luke, the model of Butler's Hudibras; Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper, afterwards the famous Earl of Shaftesbury; and Isaac Oliver, an unrivalled miniature-painter of the seventeenth century.
