The Strand is a street in the City of Westminster, London, England. It is just over 3/4 of a mile long.¹ It currently starts at Trafalgar Square and runs east to join Fleet Street at Temple Bar, which marks the boundary of the City of London at this point, though its historical length has been longer than this.

At the east end of the street are two old churches, St Mary-le-Strand and St Clement Danes which are now, owing to road-widening, situated on islands in the middle of the road. The length of road from St Mary's church eastwards up to St Clement's was widened in 1900 and subsumes the former Holywell Street which forked from the Strand and ran parallel with it to the north.² The Strand marks the southern boundary of Covent Garden.³

Two tube stations were once named Strand: the former Piccadilly line Strand tube station, now called Aldwych but no longer in use, and the former "Strand tube station" on the Northern Line now part of Charing Cross tube station. "Strand Bridge" was also the name given to Waterloo Bridge during construction, it was renamed for its official opening on the second anniversary of the victory.

Toponymy

The name is recorded in 1185 as Stronde and in 1220 as la Stranda.⁴ It is formed from the Old English 'strand', meaning bank or shore. Initially it referred to the shallow bank of the once much wider River Thames, before the construction of the Victoria Embankment. The name was later applied to the road itself. Part of its length was known in the 13th century as Densemanestret or 'street of the Danes', referring to the community of Danes in the area.⁴

Early history

This 1593 map shows "The Strande" as the principal route - parallel to the River, from the City in the east, to Whitehall in the west.

The route of the Strand was used during the Roman period as part of a route to Silchester, known as "Iter VIII" on the Antonine Itinerary,⁵ and which later became known by the name Akeman Street.⁶⁷ It was briefly part of a trading town called Lundenwic that developed around 600 AD,⁸ and stretched from Trafalgar Square to Aldwych.⁹ Alfred the Great gradually moved the settlement into the old Roman town of Londinium from around 886 AD onwards, leaving no mark of the old town, and the area returned to fields.⁸

In the Middle Ages it became the principal route between the separate settlements of the City of London (the civil and commercial centre) and the Royal Palace of Westminster (the national political centre). In the archaeological record, there is considerable evidence of occupation to the north of Aldwych, but much along the former foreshore has been covered by rubble from the demolition of the Tudor Somerset Place, a former Royal residence, to create a large platform for the building of the first Somerset House, in the 17th century.¹⁰

The western part of the Strand was located in the parish of St Martin in the Fields and in the east it extended into the parishes of St Clement Danes and St Mary le Strand. Most of its length was in the Liberty of Westminster, although part of the eastern section in St Clement Danes was in the Ossulstone hundred of Middlesex. The precinct of the Savoy, located approximately where the approach to Waterloo Bridge is now, had the Strand as its northern boundary. All of these parishes and places became part of the Strand District in 1855, except St Martin in the Fields which was governed by a vestry. The Strand District Board of Works was headquartered at 22 Tavistock Street. Strand District was abolished in 1900 and became part of the City of Westminster.

From the twelfth century onwards large mansions lined the Strand including several palaces inhabited by bishops and royal courtiers, mostly located on the south side, with their own river gates and landings directly on the Thames.¹ Those on the south side of the street were, from east to west:

A 19th century print showing St Mary-Le-Strand and the Strand front of Somerset House.

Essex House, built around 1575 for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and originally called Leicester House. Re-named Essex House after being inherited by Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex in 1588. It was demolished some time between 1674 and 1679 and Essex Street, leading up to the Strand, was built on the location by property speculator Nicholas Barbon.
Arundel House, originally the town house of the Bishops of Bath and Wells, later in the possession of Earls of Arundel. It was demolished in 1678 and Arundel Street, adjoining the Strand, built on the site.¹¹ The supposed Roman Baths, Strand Lane are in the former grounds of the House and are probably associated with it.
Somerset House built by Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, regent of England 1547-49, and rebuilt in the eighteenth century.
Savoy Palace, the London residence of John of Gaunt, Richard II's uncle and the nation's power broker. In the 14th century the Savoy was the most magnificent nobleman's mansion in England. However, during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, rebels, led by Wat Tyler, inflamed by opposition to the poll tax promoted by John of Gaunt, systematically demolished the Savoy and everything in it. In 1512 it was rebuilt as the Savoy Hospital for the poor. However it gradually fell into dereliction and was divided into multiple tenancies, eventually being demolished in the nineteenth century.¹² The Savoy Hotel now occupies the site.
Worcester House, formerly the Inn, or residence, of the Bishop of Carlisle¹³
Salisbury House. The site is now occupied by Shell Mex House, 80, Strand.
Durham House, the historic London residence of the Bishop of Durham, built circa 1345 and demolished in the mid seventeenth century, it was once the home of Queen Anne Boleyn. Durham Street and the Adelphi Buildings were built on its site.
York House, Strand, built as the London home of the Bishops of Norwich not later than 1237. At the time of the Reformation it was acquired by King Henry VIII and came to be known as York House when he granted it to the Archbishop of York in 1556. In the 1620s it was acquired by the royal favourite George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham and after an interlude during the English Civil War it was returned to George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, who sold it to developers in 1672. It was then demolished and new streets and buildings built on the site, including Villiers Street which here connects Strand with The Embankment to the south.
Hungerford House. Demolished and replaced, in turn, by Hungerford Market and Charing Cross railway station.
Northumberland House, a large Jacobean mansion, the historic London residence of the Dukes of Northumberland; built in 1605 and demolished in 1874. Northumberland Avenue, leading to the Embankment, occupies the site.

On the north side of the street were:

Cecil House, also called Exeter House or Burghley House, was on the north side of the Strand; it was built in the 16th century by Lord Burghley as an expansion of an existing Tudor house. Exeter House was demolished in 1676 and Exeter Exchange built on the site. It was most famous for the menagerie that occupied its upper floors for over 50 years, from 1773 until 1829, when Exeter Exchange was demolished. It was replaced by Exeter Hall, noted for its Evangelical meetings. This was torn down in 1907 and the site is now occupied by the Strand Palace Hotel.
Bedford House.
Wimbledon House.

Apart from the rebuilt Somerset House, all these grand buildings are now gone, and are overlaid by later streets lined by humbler tenements. These were built by property developers on the sites of the old mansions, from the seventeenth century onwards. A New Exchange was built on part of the gardens of Durham House, in 1608-9, facing the Strand. This high-class shopping centre enjoyed considerable popularity but was eventually destroyed in 1737.¹⁴

Churches

St. Clement Danes Church, near Fleet Street

The church of St. Clement Danes is believed to date back to the 9th century, but the present building is mainly a 17th century work by Sir Christopher Wren. Here is buried one of England's lesser known kings: Harold Harefoot (reigned 1035–40). St Mary-le-Strand was designed by James Gibbs and completed in 1717, to replace one demolished by Protector Somerset for building material for his adjacent Somerset House.

Decline

After the demolition of most of the grand mansions and departure of their aristocratic residents for the West End the area acquired a dissolute but lively reputation and became notable for its coffee houses, low taverns and cheap women. The Dog and Duck tavern on the Strand was famed as a venue for the conspirators involved in the Gunpowder Plot.¹⁵ And, in the time of the English Civil War, the Nag's Head tavern was the venue of a meeting between Henry Ireton and some of the Levellers which resulted in the production of a document called the Remonstrance of the Army which demanded the abolition of the monarchy and the trial of Charles I.¹⁶ In the nineteenth century the Coal Hole Tavern, under the management of Renton Nicholson, was notable for song-and-supper evenings, tableaux vivants of scantily clad women in poses plastiques, and a ribald "Judge and Jury" show.¹⁷

Literary life

In the 19th century much of the Strand was rebuilt and the houses to the south no longer backed onto the Thames, separated from the river by the Victoria Embankment constructed 1865-70. This moved the river some 50 metres (164.0 ft) further away. The Strand became a newly fashionable address and many avant-garde writers and thinkers gathered here, among them Thomas Carlyle, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spencer and the scientist Thomas Henry Huxley. 142 Strand was the home of radical publisher and physician John Chapman,¹⁸ who not only published many of his contemporaries from this house during the 1850s, but also edited the Westminster Review for 42 years. The American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson was also a house guest. A lower grade of publishing was promoted at the east end of Strand where Holywell Street was the hub of Victorian pornography trade, until the street was physically eliminated by the Strand road widening in 1900.¹⁹ Virginia Woolf also writes about Strand in several of her essays, including "Street Haunting: A London Adventure." T.S. Eliot alludes to The Strand in his 1905 poem "At Graduation" and in his 1922 poem "The Waste Land" (part III, The Fire Sermon, v. 258: "and along the Strand, up Queen Victoria Street") John Masefield also refers to a "jostling in the Strand" in his well-known poem "On Growing Old".

Theatre

The Strand was the hub of Victorian theatre and nightlife. However, redevelopment of the East Strand and the construction of the Aldwych and Kingsway roads in the 1890s and early years of the twentieth century led to the loss of the Opera Comique, the Globe, the Royal Strand Theatre and the nearby Olympic Theatre. Other lost theatres on Strand include the Gaiety Theatre (closed in 1939, building demolished in 1957), Terry's Theatre (converted into a cinema 1910, demolished 1923), and the Tivoli (closed 1914 and later demolished; in 1923 the Tivoli Cinema opened on the site and was closed and demolished in 1957 to make way for Peter Robinson's store).

Surviving theatres include the Adelphi Theatre, the Savoy Theatre and Vaudeville Theatre and, closely adjacent in Wellington Street, the Lyceum Theatre.

Connections

Charing Cross railway station built on the Strand in 1864 provided a boat train service to Europe. This stimulated the growth of hotels in the area to cater for travellers. These included the Charing Cross Hotel, attached to the station itself. Today, luggage outlets and tourist agents on the Strand testify to the former international connections of the area. Also symbolic of world travel are the old postage stamp dealers on the Strand, including that of Stanley Gibbons.²⁰

Popular culture

The Strand is the subject of a famous music hall song Let's All Go Down the Strand (words and music by Harry Castling and C. W. Murphy). The song opens with a group of tourists, staying the night at Trafalgar Square about to embark for Rhineland - presumably via the boat train from nearby Charing Cross railway station:

The Strand, Looking Eastwards from Exeter Exchange (1822). The church in the distance is St Mary-Le-Strand with St. Clement Danes behind

One night a half 'a dozen tourists
Spent the night together in Trafalgar Square.
A fortnight's tour on the Continent was planned,
And each had his portmanteau in his hand.
Down the Rhine they meant to have a picnic
Til' Jones said, "I must decline--"
"Boys you'll be advised by me
to stay away from Germany--
What's the good a' going down the Rhine."

Let's all go down the Strand -- Have a banana!
Let's all go down the Strand!

I'll be the leader, you can march behind.
Come with me and see what we can find!
Let's all go down the Strand -- Have a banana!
Oh! What a happy land.
That's the place fer fun and noise,
All among the girls and boys.
So let's all go down to the Strand.

The song has inspired a version by the group Blur.²¹ The lines "Let's all go down the Strand" and "Have a banana!" are also referenced by English comedian Bill Bailey during his stage routine on Cockney music.²²

Art-Rock group Roxy Music took the Strand as inspiration for their 3rd single "Do the Strand", from the 1973 For Your Pleasure album.

Progressive rock group Jethro Tull references the Strand in the song "Requiem", from their 1975 album ""Minstrel In The Gallery"".

John Betjeman used the title of the song for a television documentary made for Associated-Rediffusion in 1967,²³ and in the same year Margaret Williams for a stage comedy.²⁴ The Strand was also the locale where Burlington Bertie, the hero of another popular music hall song, sauntered along "like a toff".

The Strand Magazine was named after the street, and began publishing in 1891. A BBC World Service arts and culture radio series is called The Strand.²⁵ The World Service broadcasts from Bush House situated on Strand.

Roddy Frame sings in his song, "Over You", the line "Me, stuck on the Strand" to mean that he's on the dividing line between one manner of thinking and another.

In the 2008 film adaptation of C. S. Lewis' second novel in the Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian, the four Pevensie children are on the platform in the Strand Tube Station when the call of Susan's magical horn summons them back to Narnia. They return there at the end of the film, in time to depart for boarding school.
