Tuscany Corner is the corner of Bristol where King's Landing, Guild Hall Row and High Street meet.

It is named for the Tuscany Tavern, the pub which resides on this corner.

It is also known to some as Coke's Corner due to its prominent lion statues and Sir Edward Coke's love of all things leonine.

It was known for a number of years (1996-1999) as "Big Jake's Corner" as fight cast character Big Jake Humphries (Dean Calin) gathered a group of performers at random who engaged in sea-shanty themed song sets. On more than one occassion stage managers requested the group quiet down or migrate further east as the gathered crowd and performers were out-performing the acts on the nearby Midsummer Stage.

It is not labeled on the official map of the Faire.
