Storey's Gate is a location in central London of both historical and contemporary political significance. It is a few minutes walk from the Palace of Westminster and even less far from Westminster Abbey which bounds the street at its southern end at the Junction of Victoria Street, Broad Sanctuary and Tothill Street. From here the Street runs North for four blocks (on the left hand side) ending at the junction with Great George Street as it runs East to West. A few yards to the left the street becomes Birdcage Walk at the junction with Horse Guards Road, which continues northwards.
