Portsoken, traditionally referred to with the definite article as the Portsoken,[3] is one of the City of London, England's 25 ancient wards, which are still used for local elections. Historically an extra-mural ward, lying east of the former London Wall, the area is sometimes considered to be part of the East End of London.[4]
The ward is about 5 hectares in area, and is mainly oriented north-south, with the central part informally known as Aldgate.
