Dean Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dean Street is a street in Soho, London, England, running between Oxford Street to the north and Shaftesbury Avenue to the south.
Karl Marx lived on this street between 1851 and 1856, above what is now the Marco Pierre White restaurant Quo Vadis. The French House in Dean Street is a public house that was the unofficial headquarters of Charles de Gaulle and the French resistance during World War II. The Groucho Club, a private club frequented by people in the arts (including Damien Hirst and Kate Moss), is located here, as is the Soho Theatre, theatre presenting new plays and stand up comedy.
Dean Street is well-known in creative and advertising circles as a centre for film/video editing facilities, especially during the 1960s-1990s. Many famous UK adverts have been produced here, using optical and latterly digital effects.
