Green Street House, commonly known as Boleyn Castle, is a stately home in East Ham in the modern London Borough of Newham, East London. The castle is the old logo of the West Ham United club with a castle-shaped building and a pair of giant crossed hammers behind it. The hammer symbolizes the origins of this club, where West Ham was founded by workers at the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding ship factory, and the hammer is a tool commonly used in factory work. Meanwhile, the castle-shaped building is Green Street House, a local building founded in the 16th century.
