Charing Cross Road, London

Charing Cross Road is a road in Central London. It starts at the intersection with Oxford Road, across from Tottenham Court Road, and goes southwards to end at St Martin-in-the-Fields Church. The road was named after the Charing Cross railway station, which in turn was named after Charing Cross.

Charing Cross Road is a popular place to go for second hand books and antiquarian shops. Most of these shops are located on the ground floor of low-cost housing known as housing associations. There are also regular bookstores such as Foyles and Borders, which are located almost opposite each other.

How to reach Charing Cross Road

Take the Central Line or Northern Line to the Tottenham Court Road Tube Station, or the Piccadilly Line or Northern Line to the Leicester Square Tube Station.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
