Tufton Street is a road in Westminster, London, located just outside of the Westminster Abbey precinct. It was built by Sir Richard Tufton during the 17th century.[1] Today it hosts a number of right-leaning lobby groups and think tanks. As a result, the street name is most often used as a metonym for these groups.[2][3][4]
