Vere Street, WC2B.

Vere Street was a street in the Lincoln’s Inn Fields area

Vere Street in the Aldwych area around the turn of the twentieth century.
Credit: User unknown/public domain

Vere Street was situated between Clare Market at its eastern end and Duke Street (which, via Prince’s Street, connected to Drury Lane) at its western end.

It is best known for Gibbon’s Tennis Court and the Vere Street Coterie.

The area was unaffected by the Great Fire of London. The decrepit Elizabethan buildings survived until the area was redeveloped by the London County Council at the beginning of the twentieth century. Vere Street was then demolished as part of the Aldwych/Kingsway “improvement scheme”
