Green Street, London

Green Street is a road in the London Borough of Newham, England. There is an official website for this road [http://www.green-st.co.uk Green Street]

The southern portion is the location of the Boleyn Ground, home to West Ham United and is the title of a 2005 film about football hooliganism, "Green Street". At the nearby intersection with Barking Road, there is a "Champions" statue commemorating West Ham's players who helped win the 1966 World Cup: Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.Near Upton Park tube station, the road becomes a regional centre for retail in food, jewellery, fabrics and the location of Queens Road Market. The road is vibrant and ethnically colourful with an array of shops specialising in primarily Southern Asian goods, particularly catering to those with strong cultural and familial ties to the Indian subcontinent. The street has a smaller yet prominent Afro-Caribbean community culture, reflected in its several food stores specialising in Caribbean and African foods.

Green Street was originally a trackway lying between the manors of East Ham and West Ham. Until 1965 it formed the boundary between the County Borough of West Ham and the County Borough of East Ham.

The upper portion approaching Forest Gate was at one time called Gypsy Lane.
