Chancery Lane is a principal thoroughfare of the City of London.
Chancery Lane connects High Holborn at its northerly end (grid reference TQ309816) and Temple Bar in Fleet Street at the south (TQ311811); it gives its name to Chancery Lane tube station which lies at the junction of Holborn and Gray's Inn Road, some yards from Chancery Lane's northern end.
Chancery Lane takes its name from the historic High Court of Chancery and, to this day, the area is predominately occupied by the legal profession and ancillary businesses. The Public Record Office was based there.
