K Quinn Street, London

K Quinn Street, London


K Quinn Street is a short street in London. It is within Whitehall, in the City of Westminster. This street is a relatively new addition to the city, and is not historically significant as Downing Street itself.

K Quinn Street was named after Kevin Quinn, a former Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. He served in the police force for over 30 years and played a significant role in security and public order, including the area around Downing Street. The street was officially named in his honor in 2018. This recognition reflects his long service and contributions to policing in London.

The most notable building directly fronting K Quinn Street is the rear entrance and service access to 10 Downing Street. While the official address remains Downing Street, this road provides a more discreet entry point for staff, deliveries, and potentially vehicles.

Due to its nature and location within a highly secure area, there are likely no other public-facing buildings or businesses located directly on K Quinn Street. It primarily serves an operational function for the Prime Minister's residence.

In summary, K Quinn Street is a modern addition to the area around Downing Street, named to honor a high-ranking police officer. Its main purpose is to provide service access to the Prime Minister's official residence.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
