Fleet Street

London newspaper district

Fleet Street is a street in central London historically associated with British newspapers, whose offices were concentrated there until the 1980s.

By extension, Fleet Street refers to the British press collectively, especially the tabloids: Fleet Street has been relentless in pursuing the scandal.

The term persists despite newspapers having long since relocated.
