Information About

Kingsway (london)




The road was purpose built as part of a major redevelopment of the area in the 1900s which swept away a maze of small streets and slum dwellings. As part of the redevelopment a Tram Tunnel was built underneath the road. Part of this is still in use at the southern end as the Strand Underpass for cars. The northern entrance to the tunnel still exists and can be found at the junction of Southampton Row and Vernon Place.

There is also a Queensway in West London.
