Green Street, Newham

For the street in Central London, see Green Street, Mayfair.

Green Street is a road in the London Borough of Newham, East London, which forms much of the boundary between East and West Ham.

Green Street is best known for the former Boleyn Ground, home to West Ham United[1] from 1904 to 2016, and for its wide range of shops and market outlets. It was also the site of Green Street House - also known as Boleyn Castle - for more than 400 years until demolished in 1955. Green Street House was located between the street and the Boleyn Ground.

Champions Statue on the Morley's Corner junction with Barking Road.

Green Street runs from the originally Roman Romford Road, in the north, to the Barking Road in the south. The junction with Barking Road, by the Boleyn Tavern, was known as Morley's Corner after the onetime owners of Green Street House. Morley's Corner is the site of the Champions statue commemorating West Ham's players who helped win the 1966 World Cup: Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.[2]
