Aldwych

Aldwych (pronounced AWLD-witch) is a street and the name of the area immediately surrounding it, in the City of Westminster, part of Greater London, and is part of the West End Theatreland. The 450 metres (1,480 ft) street starts 600 metres (2,000 ft) east-northeast of Charing Cross, the conventional map centre-point of the capital city. In the 7th century, the area was an Anglo-Saxon settlement. The name means "old port", and was the port of the City of London.
