Byward Street
Byward Street is a road in the City of London, the historic and financial centre of London. It forms part of the A3211 route and, if travelling eastward, is a short continuation of Lower Thames Street from a junction with Great Tower Street, to Tower Hill. It is located within the City ward of Tower.〔"A Dictionary of London", Harben, H.A: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1922〕
==History==
Constructed between 1895 and 1906 through the ''Met. and Dist. Railways (City Lines and Extensions) Act, 1882'',〔"The City of London-a history" Borer,M.I.C. : New York,D.McKay Co, 1978 ISBN 0-09-461880-1〕 Byward Street replaced the much older Black Swan Court, itself the successor to a Roman foundation.〔(Roman thoroughfare )〕 Its close proximity to the Tower of London〔Which has not been part of the City, since the creation of Tower Hamlets in the 19th century〕 and All Hallows-by-the-Tower church〔(parish details )〕 ensure a steady stream of visitors,〔(Tourist hot spot )〕 for whom the nearby Underground station at Tower Hill or London Buses services provide easy access to the attractions.〔(Bus routes )〕 A number of retail outlets and restaurants also line Byward Street.
It formed part of the marathon course of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The women's Olympic marathon took place on 5 August and the men's on 12 August. The Paralympic marathons were held on 9 September.〔http://www.london2012.com/athletics/event/men-marathon/coursemap/〕〔http://www.london2012.com/athletics/event/women-marathon/coursemap/〕
