Dudley Street is a main street in the Melbourne central business district. Dudley Street is possibly named after the Governor General from 1908–11, the Second Earl of Dudley, William Humble Ward.
Dudley Street begins at Docklands Boulevard, continues under the Spencer street-North Melbourne rail lines, and across Spencer Street, and ends at the intersection of Peel and William Streets in West Melbourne, Victoria. At its western end, the Depression-era slum camp known as Dudley Flats was occupied by unemployed and homeless people in the 1930s.
Its most famous landmark is the concert venue, Festival Hall.
