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".
