The Strand plays host to a mix of upmarket theatres, hotels and shops, and the architecture is a sight to behold.
The magnificent Savoy Hotel is found on The Strand, whilst famous theatres include the Adelphi, the Savoy and the Vaudeville Theatre.
The Strand is London's main southern artery from the City to the West End, and as such is frequently thronged with vehicles and pedestrians.
The Dog and Duck tavern on The Strand is reported to be the meeting place of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators.
