51° 29′ 57″ N 0° 07′ 44″ W / 51.4992, -0.1290 La Gatehouse Prison était une prison située dans le quartier de Westminster à Londres. Construite en 1370, elle fut fusionnée à une prison de l'Abbaye de Westminster. Elle fichait ses prisonniers et Old Bailey la sollicitait pour obtenir des informations sur d'anciens prisonniers[1]. Démolie en 1776, le site de cette prison fait partie du Westminster scholar's Crimean War Memorial au XXIe siècle.
Pendant le XVIIe siècle, plusieurs dissidents connus ou condamnés pour trahison y ont été emprisonnés, tels Laurence Vaux[2], Christopher Holywood[3], Richard Lovelace, Samuel Pepys, Henry Savile [4] et Sir Walter Raleigh. Le roman To Althea, from Prison fut rédigé alors que Lovelace y était emprisonné. Savile et Raleigh furent transférés à la Tour de Londres lorsque la prison fut démolie.
