Monument Street EC3 is located close to the River Thames, within the Square Mile of the City of London.

Monument Street links King William Street with Fish Street Hill EC3 and also has junctions with Botolph Lane EC3 and Lower Thames Street.
The Monument is positioned at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill. The Monument is 62m high, which is also the distance it stands from Pudding Lane, where the Great Fire of London began in 1666.
