Greek Street

Greek Street is a street in Soho, London, leading south from Soho Square to Shaftesbury Avenue. Greek Street is known for its selection of restaurants and cafes of different cuisines, galleries and bars. Greek Street was first mentioned by its current name in 1679, taking its name from a Greek church from 1677 on Hog Lane (now Charing Cross Road) whose main entrance faced Greek Street – immigrants were plentiful in Soho at the time.
