<div class="neighbouring_postcodes_grid"> || [[Locale Leicester Square|Leicester Sq]] || [[Locale Covent Garden|Covent Garden]] || [[Locale Holborn|Holborn]] || || [[Locale Trafalgar Square|Trafalgar Sq]] || Strand || [[Locale Fleet Street|Fleet Street]] || || [[Locale Whitehall|Whitehall]] || [[Locale Embankment|Embankment]] || [[Locale Blackfriars|Blackfriars]] || </div> An area of London around the historic shopping thoroughfare (though it has been displaced as the centre of London shopping since the 19th Century by [[Locale Oxford Street|Oxford Street]] and that part of the West End). It is within the City of Westminster and in modern times is dominated at the eastern end by [[Locale Aldwych|Aldwych]] and the Royal Courts of Justice. It runs east from [[Locale Trafalgar Square|Trafalgar Square]] and becomes [[Locale Fleet Street|Fleet Street]] at the boundary of [[Locale City|the City of London]]. The word "strand" means "the land bordering a sea, lake, or river". Although the Strand now lies some distance from the river, the buildings on its southern side used to look directly onto the Thames; infilling of the Thames for the construction of the Victoria Embankment in 1865-1870 moved the river further away from the Strand. The area to the south of the Strand is sometimes known as "Adelphi".
