Kungsgatan/Kings Street is a street address in central Stockholm. It was formerly a red-light district and is currently a busy shopping street. The eastern part of Kungsgatan was inaugurated on 24 November 1911 after digging and blasting through Brunkebergsåsen had been going on for six years. At its western end it is connected to Kungsholmen by Kungsbron bridge, from where it stretches east to Stureplan public square.
