- The Strand is one of the historical streets of London. It was formerly the water-side road, whence its name between the cities of London and Westminster. Between it and the river lay the palaces of the great nobles, and on the other side the green fields stretched away without a break to the north.
- Strand, often called the Strand, is a street in the City of Westminster, London, England. The street is just over three-quarters of a mile long. It currently starts at Trafalgar Square and runs east to join Fleet Street at Temple Bar, which marks the boundary of the City of London at this point, though its historical length has been longer than this
