The street that runs from the Bank towards Bishopsgate. Hugh Boone begs here in The Man with the Twisted Lip, and Holder & Stevenson, the bank of The Beryl Coronet, has its offices in it. The pin marks the stretch where the story puts Boone's pitch.

Some little distance down Threadneedle Street, upon the left-hand side, there is, as you may have remarked, a small angle in the wall. Here it is that this creature takes his daily seat, cross-legged with his tiny stock of matches on his lap, and as he is a piteous spectacle a small rain of charity descends into the greasy leather cap which lies upon the pavement beside him.
