I work in Moorgate, and although I know so many names are derived from the things that were at the location, I'd never put two and two together that Moorgate is the gate to Moor field, which was I assume, a moor.

Especially when there's Moorfields Eye Hospital near by!

Did you know Spitalfields comes from Hospital fields? There used to be a hospital near the market. Every name has a story especially in London.
