Liffey Street
Liffey Street (Irish: Sráid na Life) is a street on the northside of Dublin, Ireland named for its location leading towards the River Liffey. The street is split into the northernmost Liffey Street Upper and Liffey Street Lower to its south, which are separated by a dogleg corner at Abbey Street. Originally, there was also a further northern extension of the street, which was named Liffey Street Upper; however, this was renamed Denmark Street in 1773 and referred to as Little Denmark Street to differentiate it from nearby Great Denmark Street. It was possibly named for the sister of George III; Caroline Matilda, who had married the Danish king Christian VII in 1766, becoming Queen of Denmark, was divorced in 1772 and died in 1775. Following this renaming, the original Liffey Street Middle began to be called Liffey Street Upper. Little Denmark Street was later entirely erased in the 1970s for the construction of the Ilac Centre. As of 2025, the street is mainly a retail street with a variety of shops, pubs, hotels, restaurants and eateries.
