Fenchurch was a London-based skate-clothing brand started in 2000 and named after Fenchurch Street station. It launched in 2001 with a team of sponsored skateboarders and BMX riders. After its flagship store opened, it was named one of London’s best boutiques. Clothes went on sale in 2002, and by 2003 the brand sold in mainland Europe. A Covent Garden store opened in 2005.

Fenchurch offered men’s and women’s skatewear, plus accessories, shoes and luggage. In 2007 they released a bag made from drink-can ring pulls for charity Bottletop and ran a Fenchurch Friendly line of organic and fair-trade clothing. A capsule collection with Baguette Fingers was planned for Spring/Summer 2021. After a founding director, Marc Ball, left amid disagreements, the company entered administration in February 2011 and was bought by JD Sports on March 18, 2011, with all staff laid off except the Creative Director Chris Isherwood.
