'''Ave Maria Lane''' is a street in the [[City of London]], to the west of [[St. Paul's Cathedral]]. It is the southern extension of [[Warwick Lane (London)|Warwick Lane]], between [[Amen Corner (London)|Amen Corner]] and [[Ludgate Hill]].
 
On the feastday of [[Corpus Christi (feast)|Corpus Christi]], monks would say prayers in a procession to St. Paul's Cathedral. They set off from [[Paternoster Row]] chanting the [[Lord's Prayer]] (''Pater noster'' being the opening words of the prayer in [[Latin]]). They would reach the final "Amen" as they turned the corner into Ave Maria Lane, after which they would chant [[Hail Mary]] (Ave Maria in Latin).<ref>E. Cobham Brewer 1810–1897.

Ave Maria Lane is home to the Grade&nbsp;I [[listed building]] Stationers' Hall, the livery hall of the [[Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers]] since 1670.
