Hello everyone, I hope all is good and doing well. Today we are walking in Green Street east London. It’s a very beautiful street walk in London. First I will share some information about Green street east London.

Green Street
A major shopping street and cultural hub for the community of Upton Park, occupying the borderland between East Ham and West Ham.Green Street House was built in the mid-16th century and later became known as Boleyn Castle. There is no evidence for the tradition that Anne Boleyn lived at the house but Richard Breame, the estate’s owner and a servant of Henry VIII, may have boasted that the king courted his future bride there.

Green Street House was used as a Roman Catholic school from 1869, when the owners demol­ished its gateway and began to develop the land facing the street. In the early 20th century the house became a maternity home and its grounds were leased by West Ham United football club, which built a stadium in the grounds. Green Street House was allowed to dete­ri­o­rate and was demol­ished in 1955.

West Ham United played their last game at the Boleyn Ground on the evening of 10 May 2016, beating Manchester United 3–2. From the start of the 2016/17 season the club’s home became the Olympic Stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Barratt London is now rede­vel­oping the Boleyn Ground with what is being called “high quality housing … and inno­v­a­tive ground floor retail and leisure facil­i­ties.” The devel­opers also plan to name the central area of the scheme after West Ham legend Bobby Moore and to create sculp­tures and works of art to remember famous players and moments from the club’s history. The current West Ham memorial garden by the front entrance to the ground would also be retained, protected and incor­po­rated into the new devel­op­ment. The Upton Gardens project is expected to be completed in 2018.
