The Yard Today
A French restaurant, bistro and tavern called The Bleeding Heart now occupies a number of the buildings in the courtyard. A gate at the south of the yard leads to Ely Place.
Greville Street links Bleeding Heart Yard to another notable street from Charles Dickens' novels; Saffron Hill, which was the home of Fagin in Oliver Twist.

Famous quotes containing the words yard and/or today:
“I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.”
