Have you ever noticed this pump in Aldgate? Situa Have you ever noticed this pump in Aldgate?

Situated where Aldgate High Street, Fenchurch Street, and Leadenhall Street meet, this little monument has been a landmark for centuries, marking one of the historic gateways into the City of London. 

Take a closer look and you'll spot its most unusual feature— a brass wolf's head. According to local legend, it marks the spot where the last wolf in the City of London fell.

The pump you see today dates from the 19th century, but there's been a well or pump on this site for hundreds of years.

So next time you walk past, don't rush by. Some of London's best stories are hiding in plain sight.
From fun local pop-ups to delicious rooftop dinner From fun local pop-ups to delicious rooftop dinners, there’s plenty to explore this month. Consider it your excuse to step away from the desk and soak up everything this historic corner of London has to offer.
