From the L&M Companion:
The Steelyard. On the s. side of (Upper) Thames St, now covered by Cannon St Station. Once the London house of the Hanse merchants. The property extended to the river, its four acres including the merchants’ hall, wharves, warehouses, and private dwelling houses, and in earlier centuries had been an important factor in the life of the city.
