Green Street House

Green Street House, usually known as Boleyn Castle, was a stately home in East Ham in the modern London Borough of Newham, East London.

The house lay on the eastern side of Green Street, from which it takes its name. The street forms the boundary between West and East Ham. The area on each side of Green Street, in both West and East Ham, has become known as Upton Park, after the local tube station.

The alternative name of Boleyn Castle derives from the local legend linking the house with Anne Boleyn and from its imposing appearance, notably the castle-like structure called Anne Boleyn’s Tower which lay immediately adjacent to Green Street.

West Ham United's former Boleyn Ground was built immediately to the east of the House and took its name from the alternative name for the house. In its early years the club referred to their new ground as the Boleyn Castle with Boleyn Ground subsequently becoming the usual term.

The house was demolished in 1955.
