The section on the north side from Neal Street to Arne Street was occupied by Odhams Press from about 1890 to 1970. It published "John Bull", which was the most popular magazine in Britain from 1916 to 1934. Odhams also published "The Daily Herald", "Women's Own", "Debrett's" and "Sporting Life" (founded 1859). Odhams was bought by the International Publishing Corporation in 1961 and the site was closed down in 1969. Prior to Odhams, the site was occupied by the Queen's Theatre (1867–1878), the second-largest theatre in London at the time, after Drury Lane. It was here that Ellen Terry first met Henry Irving in a Shakespearean role. There is a plaque to commemorate the theatre, but it has been placed on the wrong block — the theatre was to the east of Endell Street, not the west. On Acre House (No. 69–75) is a green plaque commemorating Denis Johnson's workshop. He lived "c." 1760 to 1833 and had a workshop here in 1819, selling "hobby horse" bicycles, the first to be sold in the United Kingdom.
