EDITORS COMMENTS
Wych Street: A Glimpse into London's Past This evocative photograph captures the charm and character of Wych Street, a quaint and historic lane in London that once ran from the church of St Clement Danes on the Strand to the southern end of Drury Lane. The exact date of this image is unknown, but it provides a glimpse into a bygone era before the street was demolished around 1901 to make way for the Kingsway and Aldwych redevelopment. The old houses in Wych Street were a delightful mix of architectural styles, with their timber-framed facades, red brick walls, and tiled roofs. The narrow cobblestone street, lined with trees and lamplights, exuded an air of tranquility and intimacy, in stark contrast to the bustling streets of central London. The church of St Clement Danes, with its distinctive red brick tower, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The houses in Wych Street were home to many artists, writers, and actors, who were drawn to the bohemian atmosphere of the lane. Today, only a few remnants of Wych Street remain, as the area has been transformed into a modern commercial and cultural hub. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and character that once defined this part of London.
