Charing Cross
Central London station
Charing Cross is a junction in central London, historically considered the center of the city—distances from London are measured from this point.
The name refers to the area, its railway station, and the surrounding neighborhood.
A medieval memorial cross once stood here, later replaced by a Victorian replica.
We'll meet at Charing Cross.
