1. fleet street

   Fleet Street is a famous street in the City of London, UK, known for its historical association with British journalism and newspapers. From the 16th to the late 20th century, it was the home of many newspaper offices and printing presses, often considered as the representation of the British press. Its name originated from the River Fleet, London's largest underground river. It runs east from Temple Bar to Ludgate Circus. Although the majority of the national press relocated by the 1980s, the term "Fleet Street" continues to be used as a metonym for the British national press.
