Planning notes for Greater London
Charing Cross, a profoundly historic site in Greater London, is a destination steeped in medieval heritage and remarkable Victorian architecture, which today serves as a bustling cultural hub. Its unique character stems from its origins as the final resting point of the medieval Eleanor Crosses. Historical Heritage and Traditional Culture The name Charing Cross is derived from the original monumental cross erected by King Edward I between 1291 and 1294 as a memorial to his beloved wife.
