the southern end of green street runs alongside the western edge of the former boleyn ground, the original home ground of west ham united fc. the club initially rented the land from green street house, known locally as "boleyn castle" because of its imposing nature and an association with anne boleyn. the football stadium was commonly known as upton park. after the 2015–16 season, west ham relocated to the former olympic stadium in stratford and the boleyn ground has now been demolished.
