Silver Street was a radio soap opera broadcast on the BBC Asian Network from 24 May 2004[1] to 26 March 2010.

On 21 April 2008 BBC Radio Leicester began to broadcast current episodes of the show after a few weeks of highlights and compilations to introduce the stories.

Storylines focused on the lives of a primarily British South Asian community in an English town of unspecified name and location, with themes that generally related to issues that affect the daily lives of British South Asians and their neighbours.

Many guest stars appeared in the programme, including Saeed Jaffrey as the family doctor of the Chauhan family at a point in the story when the character Roopa Chauhan was struggling with bulimia, Sonia Deol (as herself) popping into a shop on the street on one occasion, and Toyah Willcox[2] playing the estranged mother of major Silver Street character Sean Brady.

The cancellation grew out of criticisms of the Asian Network in the BBC Trust's annual report.
