Argyle Street, Hong Kong

Argyle Street is a four-lane dual-way thoroughfare in Kowloon West, connecting Mong Kok, Ho Man Tin, Ma Tau Wai and Kowloon City. It runs on an east-west alignment starting at its intersection with Cherry Street, Ferry Street and Tong Mi Road in the west, and ending near the former Kai Tak Airport in the east. Due to the street's proximity with the latter, a variety of aircraft could be seen from this street and thus photographers (and movie makers) seized the opportunity to capture landing aircraft.The street was named after a British merchant ship called Argyle, which sailed between India and southern China in the early 19th Century.FeaturesAmenities and buildings along the street include the Kowloon City Law Courts, the Kowloon Hospital, the Hong Kong Eye Hospital, the headquarters of the Hospital Authority, and the Kowloon West Police Headquarters.Langham Place opened in 2005 is situated near the west end of the street.Landmarks Langham Place Sincere Podium Mong Kok East Station Diocesan Boys' School CLP Group Headquarters Kowloon Hospital Hong Kong Eye Hospital Kowloon City Magistrates' Courts Olympic Garden
