"I went on along Fleet Street" (6)
Fleet Street is one of the main streets in England. It is named after the Fleet River, which is one of the rivers that now flows beneath London's streets to the Thames. The first newspaper, called The Daily Courant, was issued from this street in 1702. It was the center of London's publishing industry, so it has been mentioned in many literary figures.
