The Street of Flies is a street in King's Landing where butchers can be found.[1]

History

On the Feast Day of Our Father Above in 133 AC, Lord Unwin Peake, the Hand of the King for King Aegon III Targaryen, had the dungeons of the Red Keep emptied and all the offenders punished publicly. There were so many prisoners that the King's Justice, Ser Victor Risley, was aided in his task by Tessario and his Fingers. The court fool Mushroom described the event as looking more like a butchery than execution, and noted that Lord Unwin should have sent for the butchers of the Street of Flies instead of the Hand's Fingers.[1]
