Vine Street, Westminster

Vine Street, Westminster

Vine Street is a thoroughfare in Westminster, London, England. Its main claim to notability is as one of the streets on the standard London Monopoly board.

The street is short and narrow, consisting mainly of the rear facades of buildings facing onto other, more salubrious, streets. The only major establishment, the Vine Street Police Station, is now closed.

As one of the stops on the popular London Monopoly Pub Crawl, where participants must consume a drink at a public house on each of the locations of the standard London Monopoly board, it is notable for the lack of any sort of licensed establishment. There are, however, a small number of bars on Swallow Street, of which Vine Street is effectively a branch, and there are several hotels in the immediate area.
