Temple Bar


City. (EC4) Originally a wooden gate-house across the road, to divide the City from Westminster. Probably no pageant ever presented a scene so striking as when the gates of Temple Bar were opened at the approach of the second Charles on his restoration, and the King, brought back to his own again, rode gallantly through the City to Whitehall.
