Charing Cross is a historic junction in Westminster, Central London, where six major roads converge near Trafalgar Square. Traditionally considered the notional center of London since the 19th century, it’s the point from which distances to London are measured. The area is steeped in history, named after the medieval Eleanor Cross that once stood there, and now marked by a statue of Charles I. Charing Cross is surrounded by iconic landmarks, including The Strand, Whitehall, and The Mall, and is home to Charing Cross railway station, a key transport hub connecting London to the southeast. Its blend of heritage, connectivity, and proximity to cultural institutions makes it a vital part of London’s urban fabric.
