Vere Street was the original home of the Theatre Royal, which has subsequently moved to Drury Lane.

Vere Street no longer exists as such. Much of the area was changed when The Aldwych, The Kingsway, and its eastern side was (re)developed. The closest you can come to Vere St, is the part of Portugal Street west of Sheffield Street, and roughly on a line that goes through the site of the Peacock Theatre.
