5 Important Landmarks Of London
By Carin Robert
Stratford
An iconic landmark on the map of East London, England and is entitled as one of the major parts of the London Plan. Stratford was initially known as Straetforda (meaning Ford on a Roman road). Earlier used as agricultural lands, it later had an avid transition into industrial era and it all happened due to the introduction of the railways in 1839. With vivid growth in the economical arena, Stratford had an abrupt increase in population and after 110 years became a part of Greater London. With the enormous growth of the railway department and prominent growth of industry it has paved the way for Stratford to stand out as one of London's most celebrated commercial city. Recently, Stratford gained more attention for the 2012 summer Olympics.
Hyde Park Corner
Ask anyone about Hyde Park Corner and you'll get easy direction to reach the place. The place holds importance as it serves as a converging point for Park Lane, Knightsbridge, Piccadilly, Grosvenor Place and Constitution Hill. The easy way to reach the place is by train to Hyde Park Corner. One of the spotlights factors on the Hyde Park Corner is the presence of Constitution arch, aka Wellington arch designed by Decimus Burton in memory of Duke of Wellington. It marks the northern gate of Buckingham Palace.
Jone's monument to the Cavalry of the Empire, Alexander Munro's Boy and Dolphin statue, the Wellington monument and a statue of Byron are some of the other monuments that can be spotted at Hyde Park Corner.
Peninsula Square
Peninsula Square is a famous area of South London and is sited in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The aerial view of Peninsula Square is amazing as it is surrounded by the Thames, Isles of Dogs on the west and Silvertown to the east. Taking a walk across Peninsula square gives immense pleasure to visitors as it includes a lot of landmarks like The Dome, The O2, which is also known as The Millennium Dome and the Blackwall Tunnel. With the recent development of more homes, offices and educational institutions, the area has become a familiar landmark of South London.
Wembley
It's quite familiar across the globe. Wembley Stadium, elegantly stunning in the Wembley arena, north west London. The name Wembley had its etymological derivation from the old English words Wemba & Lea that was officially mentioned in the charter of 825 by King Beornwulf.
The town of Wembley was formed by the clearing of the Harrow Road South, as it was little far from the main places of the town, the ambience mostly comprised of woods. It's surprising to hear the fact that there were just six houses in this location during 1547. However, it was ahead of other locations in terms of economical magnificence.
Victoria Street
If you're a compulsive shopaholic, then there is no way you can sit back and relax. Name the best brands in the world and you'll find them within few seconds. Victoria street spans across the east-west axis from Victoria Station to Broad Sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. The street has developed since 2006 with the emergence of more restaurants, shopping hubs and international banks.
