Aldwych

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Aldwych is a place and road in the City of Westminster in London. The road is a crescent between two parts of The Strand, also connecting at its middle with Kingsway. It is the site of Bush House, the Aldwych and Duchess theatres, the Waldorf Hotel and nearby in the Strand is the now-disused Aldwych tube station.

It gets its name from the old name of the area Lundenwic which means "London Port", so in memory of its old name, Aldwych means Old Port.
