Charing Cross is located at the junction of the Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street in Central London, England. The name originates from the cross put there by King Edward I as as a memorial to his wife, Eleanor of Castile at the former hamlet of Charing.
The cross in front of the station Hotel is a Victorian replacement for the original Eleanor Cross, which stood near the site.
