Great Marlborough Street
Great Marlborough Street runs west to east through the western part of Soho in London. At its western end it joins Regent Street.

==History==
The construction of Great Marlborough Street began in the early 18th century. A tablet formerly attached to a house at the corner of Great Marlborough Street and Foubert's Passage (now Place) was inscribed "Marlborough Street 1704", the name being in honour of the commander of the English Army, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Initially the street was a fashionable address. Out of one hundred peers summoned before the King in 1716, five lived in Great Marlborough Street.
In the 19th century the street became mainly commercial and remains so today. Most of the present buildings are replacements dating from the Victorian era or later.
The street inspired the name of one of Philip Morris' most famous brands, Marlboro (launched in 1924, but originally sold as Marlborough from 1885), because one of their original cigarettes factory used to be located on the street from 1881 onwards.
