Charing Cross
Charing Cross denotes the junction of the Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street, just south of Trafalgar Square in central London. It gives its name to several local landmarks, including Charing Cross railway station, one of the main London rail stations.
Charing Cross is named after the now demolished Eleanor Cross that stood there. A Victorian replacement, in different style from the original, was later erected a short distance to the east outside the railway station. Grade II* listed. Link
