Crimean War Memorial
St. James's · 0.1 miles
A Grade II-listed monument marks the Allied triumph in the Crimean War of 1853–56, standing on Waterloo Place at the junction of Regent Street and Pall Mall. The site lies roughly a quarter of the distance between the Duke of York Column and Piccadilly Circus, within the St James’s area of London. The memorial, unveiled in 1861, presents three bronze figures of Guardsmen flanked by an allegorical female form originally described as Honour and later renamed Victory after the monument’s 1914 relocation. The bronze work was produced from cannons captured at the siege of Sevastopol, and the sculptor was John Bell. Three plaques record its history: the foundation stone laid in 1861 by Margaret Johanna Bell, a notice of the 1914 move 30 feet north to accommodate new statues of Florence Nightingale and Sidney Herbert, and a shield-like inscription on the rear listing 2 152 officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the Brigade of Guards who fell in the conflict. Contemporary commentary noted the mournful posture of the figures, contrasting with the heroic poses typical of the period. Access to the memorial is step-free, making it wheelchair friendly. The monument can be viewed at street level without charge, and the surrounding pedestrian routes along Regent Street and Pall Mall provide convenient entry. Its proximity to well-known landmarks such as the Duke of York Column and Piccadilly Circus makes it readily reachable for visitors exploring central London.

Cecil Court
Aldgate · 0.1 miles
A pedestrian lane with a line of Victorian shop-fronts connects Charing Cross Road and St Martin’s Lane in Westminster, and forms part of the Jubilee Walkway. The thoroughfare, whose origins trace back to the late 1600s, originally followed a hedgerow and served as a tradesmen’s route. After a fire in 1735, the street was rebuilt, and in 1764 it provided temporary accommodation for the eight-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who lodged with barber John Couzin and performed for King George III. A plaque at number 9 marks the site of Mozart’s residence, while a second plaque installed in 2012 commemorates the street’s early cinema links. Today the lane is home to roughly a dozen independent antiquarian and second-hand bookshops, offering specialities such as modern first editions, collectible children’s books, early printing, rare maps, antique prints, music and esoterica. Adjacent premises include art galleries, an antiques dealer, and shops dealing in silver, militaria, numismatics, porcelain, jewellery and art-deco items. The area acquired the nickname “Flicker Alley” because, from 1897 onward, it hosted a concentration of film-related businesses, including early offices of Cecil Hepworth, James Williamson and international firms such as Gaumont and Vitagraph. The street remains in the ownership of the Cecil family, with the present buildings laid out around 1894. Access is pedestrian only; the nearest Underground station is Leicester Square, and entry to the shops is free, each setting its own opening hours.

Cecil Court
Aldgate · 0.1 miles
A pedestrian lane of Victorian shop-fronts runs between Charing Cross Road and St Martin’s Lane in Westminster, forming part of the Jubilee Walkway that was opened in 1977. The thoroughfare, which dates back to the late-17th century, was originally a tradesmen’s route and later acquired the nickname “Flicker Alley” because of the concentration of early film firms that set up there in the late 1890s. Today the street is owned by the Cecil family, and the buildings visible today were laid out around 1894 during the tenure of the third Marquess of Salisbury. The court now hosts roughly a dozen independent bookshops dealing in antiquarian and second-hand titles, ranging from modern first editions and collectible children’s books to rare maps, antique prints and esoteric works. In addition, there are art galleries, an antiques dealer, and shops specialising in silver, militaria, numismatics, porcelain, jewellery and art-deco items. A plaque at number 9 marks the short residence of eight-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1764, when he performed for King George III and possibly composed his first symphony. The street’s historic link to early British cinema is commemorated by a second plaque unveiled in 2012. Access is straightforward via Leicester Square underground station, and the lane is step-free, providing wheelchair-friendly passage. No admission fee is required, as the area is open to the public at all times.

The street is fully step-free, offering wheelchair access, and the nearest Underground stop is Leicester Square. It lies close to Aldgate and is situated within the central London street network, making it readily reachable on foot or by public transport. The thoroughfare, whose origins trace back to the late-17th century when maps show a hedgerow along its line, now hosts roughly a dozen independent bookshops dealing in antiquarian and second-hand titles, including modern first editions, rare maps, collectible children’s books and esoteric works. In addition, the lane accommodates art galleries, an antiques dealer, and shops specialising in silver, militaria, numismatics, porcelain, jewellery and art-deco items. Historically, the court was a hub for early British cinema, earning the nickname “Flicker Alley” after more than forty film-related businesses set up there from 1897 onward. It also provided temporary accommodation for the eight-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1764; a plaque at number 9 marks the site of the barber shop where he lodged and where tickets for his London concerts were sold. The present buildings date from around 1894, were laid out during the tenure of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, and remain in the ownership of the Cecil family. Admission to the street is free, and its pedestrian nature allows visitors to explore the shops and historic ambience at their own pace.

Covent Garden Market
Blackfriars · 0.1 miles
The former fruit-and-vegetable market at Covent Garden provides a compact city-centre experience, combining cafés, pubs, independent shops and two small markets – the Apple Market and the Jubilee Hall market – within the historic arcade that dominates the square. Set on the eastern edge of the West End, between St Martin’s Lane and Drury Lane, the landmark lies close to Blackfriars and is served by the Piccadilly line at Covent Garden tube station; a short 300-yard walk links it to Leicester Square station. Originally part of the Anglo-Saxon trading settlement of Lundenwic, the site became a walled garden belonging to Westminster Abbey by the early thirteenth century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, King Edward VI granted the land to John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford, whose family held it until 1918. Inigo Jones designed the Italianate arcaded square in the early seventeenth century, and by 1654 a modest open-air market had taken root on the south side. The market was formalised in a neo-classical building by Charles Fowler in 1830, later supplemented by the Floral Hall, Charter Market and the Jubilee Market of 1904. Traffic pressures led to the relocation of the wholesale market to New Covent Garden Market at Nine Elms in 1974; the central building reopened as a shopping centre in 1980, retaining its heritage listing by Historic England. Visitors can reach the area on foot or by public transport, though wheelchair access is limited. The square remains a focal point for street performers and retains many of its historic façades, offering a blend of retail, food and cultural attractions within a protected urban setting.

Carlton House Terrace
St. James's · 0.1 miles
Carlton House Terrace is a street in the St James's district of the City of Westminster in London. Its principal architectural feature is a pair of terraces, the Western and Eastern terraces, of white stucco-faced houses on the south side of the street, which overlook The Mall and St. James's Park.

Construction was overseen by James Pennethorne. Both terrace blocks are Grade I listed buildings. Carlton Gardens is at the terrace's western end.
