- Moorgate was a postern in the London Wall originally built by the Romans. It was turned into a gate in the 15th century. Though the gate was demolished in 1762, the name survives as a major street in the City of London. The street connects the City to the London Boroughs of Islington and Hackney, and was constructed around 1846 as one of the new approaches to London Bridge. The name "Moorgate" derives from the surrounding area of Moorfields, which was one of the last pieces of open land in the City. Today this region is a financial centre, and is home to several investment banks. The street also showcases historic and contemporary office buildings. The Moorgate station on the London Underground is remembered for the Moorgate tube crash of 1975. In the incident, a train terminating at the station failed to stop and crashed into a brick wall, and 43 people were killed. This resulted in systems being installed on the Underground which automatically stop trains at dead-ends, which have become known as Moorgate control.
- Moorgate era una porta secondaria realizzata nel London Wall costruito originariamente dai romani. Essa venne trasformata in una porta vera e propria nel XV secolo. Anche se poi essa venne demolita nel 1762, il suo nome è oggi portato da una della più importanti strade della City of London. Essa collega la City ad Islington e ad Hackney, essendo stata costruita nel 1846 come una delle vie di accesso al London Bridge. Il nome "Moorgate" deriva dall'area circostante di Moorfields, che fu uno degli ultimi spazi verdi della City. Oggi questa zona è un distretto finanziario all'interno del quale operano molte banche d'investimento. In essa si trovano anche notevoli edifici, adibiti ad uffici, di costruzione sia antica che moderna. La stazione di Moorgate sulla Metropolitana di Londra è nota per un incidente verificatosi nel 1975. Un treno, giunto in stazione, non riuscì ad arrestare la sua corsa ed andò ad urtare violentemente contro le pareti della galleria procurando la morte di 43 passeggeri. Dopo questo incidente venne messo a punto un sistema automatico che ferma i treni all'arrivo in stazione, chiamato in gergo Moorgate control.
- Moorgate er ei gate i City of London. Den strekker seg nordover fra Bank of England til grensa til Islington, og utgjør første del av hovedvegen A501 ut av London. Gata ble anlagt ved midten av 1800-tallet. Moorgate var opprinnelig en av portene i londons bymur, og fikk sitt navn etter Moorfields, som var et av de siste ubebygde områdene i City. Moorgate var en av London Walls mindre porter, trolig ikke mer enn en poterne, og ble revet i 1762. I dag er Moorgate en del av Londons finanssentrum, og flere store banker og finanshus ligger her. Moorgate har også gitt navn til Moorgate undergrunnsstasjon.
