Street is a lunar impact crater located just to the south of the prominent ray crater Tycho. Street lies within the skirt of high-albedo "ejecta" from Tycho, and it is more heavily worn than its younger and larger neighbor. There are several smaller craters joined to the western rim, as well as two craters along the eastern rim. The floor is relatively smooth and flat, except for a small craterlet in the western half.

It is named for 17th century English astronomer Thomas Streete."Autostar Suite Astronomer Edition". CD-ROM. Meade, April 2006.]
