what is fleet street famous for

Fleet Street in London is famous primarily for its historic association with the printing and publishing industry, especially British national newspapers. Starting from the early 16th century, it became the center of newspaper production and journalism in the UK. By the 20th century, most major British national newspapers operated there, making "Fleet Street" a metonym for the British press. Although the newspaper industry largely moved out in the 1980s, the street remains iconic for its journalism legacy. Additionally, Fleet Street is known for its historic pubs, literary connections (notably with Charles Dickens and other famous writers), and its role as a historic thoroughfare since Roman times.
