Stoleshnikov Lane (in the 16th-17th centuries – Rozhdestvenskaya Street, in the 18th-19th centuries part of it – the former Kosmodamiansky Lane) is a lane in the Central Administrative District of Moscow. It runs from Tverskaya street to Petrovka Street, crosses Bolshaya Dmitrovka, and runs parallel between Tverskoy Proyezd and Kamergersky Lane, further turning into Kuznetsky Most Street.
The numbering of houses is conducted from Tverskaya Square.
The outdated name of the tablecloth gives the name of the lane. This tabletop was manufactured by weavers who have lived here since the 17th century.
In the Soviet years, Stoleshnikov Lane was known primarily for its bookstores, which were considered the best in Moscow. After the collapse of the USSR, fashionable boutiques and stores of various Western brands gradually chose the lane, and it became one of the most expensive shopping places in Moscow, along with Tretyakovsky Proyezd and Barvikha. In 2007, consulting company Jones Lang LaSalle recognized it as the second most expensive shopping street in the world after the Champs Elysees in Paris.
