West out of Bishopsgate, in Bishopsgate Ward Without (Hatton, I708-O.S. 1880).
Before its rebuilding early in the 18th century, the site was occupied by two courts, viz. Horshoe Alley or Yard and Soapers or Sopers Alley (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 108). These two courts are shown on the site in O. and M. 1677.
The name Sweet Apple Court was derived from the owner Sir John Sweetapple, Goldsmith (Strype, ib.).
The site is now occupied by the Great Eastern Railway lines.
