John Islip Street

[1] Located in the City of Westminster, it runs roughly northeastwards from Vauxhall Bridge Road.

The street is named after John Islip, an abbot of Westminster Abbey during the Tudor era.

[3] A statue of John Everett Millais designed by Thomas Brock was erected outside the Tate in 1904 and is now Grade II listed.

Across the road are a number of redbrick tenement buildings that form the Millbank Estate.

In reference to nearby Tate Gallery they are named after celebrated British artists of the nineteenth century including Landseer, Lawrence, Leighton, Millais and Wilkie.
