The street is named for Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in China.

History

Historically, many local printing presses and old beef-brisket noodle shops were located on Gough Street. Kau [Kee Restaurant], is a notable noodle shop that specialises in beef brisket noodles in clear soup located there. In the last several years, a lot of the printing presses moved to other areas and new restaurants and bars began to move into the premises vacated by the printing presses. Now, the street has many international fashion brands and high-end home furnishings.
The street is most well known for hosting 'Yeung Yiu Kee', a family business of Yeung Hok-ling in 1884, where he gathered with friends and fellow revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen, Chan Siu-bak and Yau Lit, known collectively as the Four Bandits. As Sun Yat-sen became an important figure for his founding of the Republic of China, the street was honored as part of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail.
