Jermyn Street is a one-way street in St James's, Westminster in central London, to the south, parallel and adjacent to Piccadilly.
It is widely known as a place where the shops are almost exclusively aimed at the gentlemen's clothing market and it is famous for its resident shirtmakers such as Turnbull & Asser, Charles Tyrwhitt, Thomas Pink and T. M. Lewin. Gentlemen's outfitters Hackett, DAKS, and Harvie & Hudson are also located on Jermyn Street, as well as shoe- and boot-makers John Lobb and Foster & Son.
A number of other notable businesses occupy premises on the street, such as the barbers Geo.F. Trumper and Taylors of Old Bond Street, cigar shops Davidoff and Alfred Dunhill, as well as Britain's oldest cheese shop, Paxton & Whitfield, trading since 1797.
Tramp nightclub and the 70-seat Jermyn Street Theatre (the West End's smallest) are other notable sites.

Famous quotes containing the word street:
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
