Oat Lane is a short street in the ward of Bassishaw in the City of London.
First mentioned by Leake in 1666, it runs from Noble Street to Staining Lane between Gresham Street and London Wall.
The Great Hall of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers stands midway down Oat Lane. The church of St Mary Staining once stood here and a small garden still marks the location of the lost church.
The nearest London Underground station is St. Paul's and the closest mainline railway station is Moorgate.

Famous quotes containing the words oat and/or lane:
“Once in this wine the summer blood
Knocked in the flesh that decked the vine,
Once in this bread
The oat was merry in the wind;
Man broke the sun, pulled the wind down.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
