Moorfields was an open space, partly in the City of London, lying adjacent to – and outside – its northern wall, near the eponymous Moorgate. It was known for its marshy conditions, the result of the defensive wall acting like a dam, impeding the flow of the River Walbrook and its tributaries. Moorfields gives its name to the Moorfields Eye Hospital which occupied a site on the former fields from 1822–1899, and is still based close by, in the St Luke's area of the London Borough of Islington.

  • À Londres, les Moorfields (littéralement, « Champs de Moor ») furent parmi les derniers terrains dits « libres » de la Cité de Londres. Situés près de Moorgate, les champs sont partagés en trois parties : les Moorfields au nord du Bethlem Royal Hospital (et à l'intérieur des limites de la ville), les Middle Moorfields (plus au nord) et les Upper Moorfields (encore plus au nord).

  • Moorfields i London var ett av de sista områdena med öppen mark inom City of London. Mycket av marken exploaterades 1777 när färdigställdes, och resten av området bebyggdes under efterföljande årtionden. Moorfields var platsen för den första flygningen med gasballong i England (och den första utanför Frankrike), när italienaren Vincenzo Lunardi flög med Moorfields som uppstigningsplats den 15 september 1784. Författaren till Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe avled här 24 april 1731. (sv)

  • El lugar de Moorfields de Londres, fue uno de los últimos pedazos de tierra abierta en la ciudad, por permanecer durante largos meses del año inundado, estaba en el exterior del recinto amurallado cerca de la puerta de Moorgate de Londres. Los campos fueron divididos en 4 zonas con árboles, justo al norte del Hospital de Bethlem, y en el límite norte de la ciudad medieval. En 1780 fue sede de algunos de los revueltas más violentos durante los disturbios de Gordon. (es)
  • Moorfields era uno degli ultimi spazi verdi della City of London, vicino Moorgate. Il terreno era suddiviso in tre aree: Moorfields vero e proprio, e Middle e Upper Moorfields a nord. Dopo il grande incendio di Londra del 1666, i senzatetto si rifugiarono a Moorfields accampandovisi temporaneamente. Re Carlo II d'Inghilterra incoraggiò i senzatetto a lasciare Londra ma non è noto quante persone vi si siano spostate. Nei primi anni del XVIII secolo Moorfields era un sito in cui si svolgeva un piccolo mercato all'aperto. Le case di Moorfields e site nei dintorni erano povere e la zona aveva la reputazione di attrarre banditi e bordelli. James Dalton e Jack Sheppard si rifugiarono entrambi a Moorfields per sfuggire alla legge. La maggior parte di Moorfields iniziò a svilupparsi nel 1777, quan (it)
