Fetter Lane
Fetter Lane is a street in the City of London that connects Holborn to Fleet Street. The street was originally called Faytor or Faiter Lane, then Fewteres Lane. This is believed to come from the Old French "faitor" meaning lawyer, though by the 14th century this had become synonymous with an idle person. Geoffrey Chaucer used the word to refer to the beggars and vagrants who were seen around the lane. An alternative origin of the name is the fetter (lance vest) made by armourers working for the nearby Knights Templar.
This stretch of Fetter Lane is not part of the A4 Road, which connects to Holborn Circus via New Fetter Lane to the east. Many structures along the western edge of road are part of the City of London Corporation's Chancery Lane Conservation Area.
