Dean Street
Dean Street is a street in Soho, central London, running from Oxford Street south to Shaftesbury Avenue. It crosses Old Compton Street and is linked to Frith Street by Bateman Street.
Culture
The Soho Theatre presents new plays and stand-up comedy. The Gargoyle Club ran for 27 years in the upper floors at number 69,[1] a site that also housed the nightclub Billy's in its cellars during the late 1970s, when it was associated with the New Romanticism movement.[2]
Fire
On 10 July 2009 a fire broke out on Dean Street. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries but nobody else was hurt. The building that caught fire was gutted.[3]
