Description
Fleet Street is the spiritual home of the newspaper industry. Once the pavements vibrated to the sound of printing presses as they churned out the news for an expectant nation. However, Fleet Street's story is far richer, as lawyers, bankers, publicans, and authors plied their trades here.
The 'Street of the Ink' has a cast of characters and events that make it one of the most interesting streets in England.
From being the birthplace of the wedding cake and commercial printing, to the haunt of Dr. Johnson and the legendary Demon Barber, Fleet Street has a story to fascinate and enthrall young and old.
