You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:City of London, Giltspur Street - geograph.org.uk - 559848.jpg|thumb|Giltspur Street, looking south towards the dome of the [[Old Bailey]]]]

'''Giltspur Street''' is a street in [[Smithfield, London|Smithfield]] in the [[City of London]], England, running north–south from the junction of [[Newgate|Newgate Street]], [[Holborn Viaduct]] and [[Old Bailey]], up to West Smithfield, and it is bounded to the east by [[St Bartholomew's Hospital]]. It was formerly known as Knightsriders Street, from the knights riding at the tournaments in Smithfield.<ref>((cite book|last=Burford Rawlings|first=Gertrude|title=The streets of London: their history and associations|publisher=G. Bles|year=1926|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lLguAAAAIAAJ))</ref>

In 1381 [[Richard II of England|King Richard II]] met the leaders of the [[Peasants' Revolt]] here, promising to agree to the rebels' demands, which included a repeal of the Statute of Labourers that prevented workers changing jobs for better pay. However, during the negotiations [[William Walworth]], the [[Lord Mayor of London]], lured rebel [[Wat Tyler]] away and stabbed him; when Tyler sought refuge in the neighbouring St. Bartholemew's Church he was dragged out and beheaded. The revolt later subsided.

Located on the junction of Giltspur Street and [[Cock Lane]] is the [[Golden Boy of Pye Corner]], a cherub which is a symbol of [[gluttony]], the sin which supposedly led to divine retribution in the form of the [[Great Fire of London]]. An inscription on the monument reads:
:"The Boy at Pye Corner was erected to commemorate the staying of the Great Fire which beginning at [[Pudding Lane]] was ascribed to the sin of gluttony when not attributed to the Papists as on the Monument, and the Boy was made prodigiously fat to enforce the moral. He was originally built into the front of a [[public house]] called [[The Fortune of War Public House|The Fortune of War]] which used to occupy this site and was pulled down in 1910."

Also on Giltspur Street is a monument to the English essayist [[Charles Lamb]], best known for his ''[[Essays of Elia]]'' and for co-writing the children's book ''[[Tales from Shakespeare]]''. An inscription on the sculpture reads:
:''Perhaps the most loved name in English literature who was a bluecoat boy here for 7 years. B·1775, D·1834.''

The street gave its name to the [[Giltspur Street Compter]], a small [[prison]] located on the street from 1791 to 1855.

The nearest [[London Underground]] station is [[St Paul's tube station|St Paul's]] and the closest mainline railway stations are [[City Thameslink railway station|City Thameslink]] and [[Farringdon station|Farringdon]].
