Eagle Street runs parallel to High Holborn, one block north.
It was developed before the early eighteenth century; it appears on Rocque’s map of 1746, and Strype described it in 1720 as “a Street of a good length...pretty broad, and better built than inhabited” (John Strype, Stow’s Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster, Corrected, Improved and Very Much Enlarged, 1720)
It is now the location of Kingsgate House, the former Kingsgate Baptist Chapel of 1735 (later rebuilt), which was formerly on the corner of now-vanished Kingsgate Street
In the twentieth century its west end was renamed Catton Street.
