Coventry Street is a short London street, within the City of Westminster, running from Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square. The street is the main conduit between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square and at the weekend up to 150,000 people walk from one to another along the street. Buses traveling south from Regent Street or west along Shaftesbury Avenue inevitably pass along the top of the street, where it intersects The Haymarket, with the consequence that the street can be heavily congested. It has a yellow square on the Monopoly board named after it.

Spon Street is where the city council relocated many of Coventry's half-timbered houses which survived the war and the development of the ring road.
The street, which many saw as a 'forgotten' part of the city, is undergoing a 1.3 million facelift involving relaying the street with York stone sets, new lighting and a timberwork screen to hide an electricity sub-station.
Coventry City Council has promised to look into ways for the Moat Building to be used by the local community but since the school moved out of the building at Easter, it has remained empty and boarded up.
