Bucklersbury

Street in London, England, running from Walbrook across Queen Victoria Street to The Poultry. It was originally a manor or tenement named after the wealthy Bukerel family, who lived in London from about 1100. Sir Thomas More lived in Bucklersbury for a time.

From the late 14th century it was largely inhabited by grocers who sold spices, drugs, and herbs; hence Falstaff's allusion (in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor) to effeminate gallants who ‘smell like Bucklersbury in simple time’.
