Thieving Lane, what a great name, makes me wonder what went on there!

Thank you GA for stimulating my vivid imagination to transport me back to the London of my great great grandparents. I can visualise the buildings and people, hear the sounds of horses hooves and shouts of those selling their wares, the smell of the stinking, overpopulated areas with limited sanitation.
I was rather tickled by Thieving Lane being situated in Westminster!
