Fleet Street

( HomeLondon → Strand )

The Strand is a street in central London that runs from Trafalgar Square to Fleet Street.  Two very important buildings on The Strand are Australia House and the Royal Courts of Justice.  Interestingly, "Strand" is derived from the old English word for "river", since a river used to run along the direction of the road.
