Description: | The Strand at Charing Cross bustles with life, as pedestrians dodge across the road between the motor cars. The perimeter of Charing Cross station's forecourt is on the right.
Aerated Bread Company (A.B.C.) tea rooms, such as the ones on the right, were the first of their kind. By the 1920s, they had been offering tea and snacks for over 50 years to travellers coming into town by train, office workers on lunch breaks or shoppers spending money in the nearby West End. The chain rivalled the more famous J. Lyons tearooms.
There are other facilities for travellers around the station, such as a bureau de change and a lost property bureau. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape | Temporal: | Jun 1923 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
