Description: | This colour photographic postcard shows Charing Cross station and the Strand. On the right is the Charing Cross Hotel, built in 1865, which is above the station entrance. Two further floors were added in 1952. The street in front is full of open-top motorbuses and cars.
The Eleanor Cross statue in the forecourt marks the point from which all road distances from London are measured. The statue was commissioned by the Charing Cross Hotel Company and designed by E M Barry. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - Collection of London's Transport Museum | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | c1915 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
