Leman Street

Leman Street, once known as Lemon Street, is a street in Tower Hamlets. It was built in the seventeenth century as part of the development of Goodman's Fields. It is named after John Leman who was responsible for this development, which also included Ayliff Street, Mansell Street, and Prescot Street.

Over the years the street has been the location of various notable buildings and organisations:

In 2002, Trees for Cities, the national urban tree charity, planted over a dozen silver birch, rowan and ornamental pear trees along Leman Street as part of the Whitechapel Street Tree project, which sought to increase tree canopy cover in this area of Tower Hamlets.
