[edit] The Strand
Wouldn't this be better served at The Strand, currently a redirect?

- I am currently sitting on the Strand, and I think no! It is actually just "Strand"; no the! That makes it special and mysterious and look cool on business cards. Aforrest 11:05, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- Ah, agreed, but sadly Strand is already taken as a disambiguation page (and I don't think that The Strand is quite internationally important enough to place there and move the disambiguation page elsewhere); The Strand would be the next-best location, perhaps?

This page has been moved, and then back. This is... tiresome. Whatever the 'correct' name for the road, the most commonly used name (*cough*policy*cough*) is most definitely "The Strand", not "Strand". Also, editing move-redirects so that they have to be deleted to effect a page move is... argumentative.

I didn't want to interfere, but surely Strand begins at Temple Bar and follows the curve of the river... It was the river road to Westminster originally, was it not?Wetman 09:21, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Ludenwick
I thought that the idea that Londinium was abandoned at the end of the Roman era was now trashed. Maybe an archaeologist might comment? Ludenwick was roughly at the site of Aldwych, so how can this connect city and that ...
- changed lineage to explicitly say City of London and Palace of Westminster
- still no mention either of the Temple, or of the Royal Courts of Justice. Both worth a mention.
- Oh, San Souci Theatre was in Leicester Place, owner had previous 'rooms' here used for musical entertainments[1].
No time now, I shall return .... Kbthompson 15:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
