King George Street is a street in
Tel Aviv named for
King George V of the
United Kingdom who reigned during the
British Mandate of Palestine . The street extends from
Masaryk Square in the north to
Magen David Square in the south, where it meets with
Allenby Street , the
Carmel Market , and Nahalat Binyamin Street.
At the beginning of the 1920s, the street was called “Carmel Street.” In 1935, it was changed to its current name to mark the occasion of the king’s Silver Jubilee . Following the death of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir in 2012, his family proposed the street be renamed after him. The western section of the street is still called “Carmel Street”, which is where the Carmel Market is located.
