WC2
What to do and where to stay in London's WC2 neighbourhood
The west central postcode of
WC2 takes in part of the West End as well as the legal district around
Holborn and the Strand. The centre point of the area is arguably Covent
Garden, with its excellent shopping, famous cobbled piazza and the
numerous nearby theatres. Attracting some of the biggest stars in
Hollywood, the hallowed stages of London's Theatreland rival those of
New York's Broadway in the popularity stakes and attract millions of
visitors each year. If it's movies you're after, Leicester Square and
its environs boast many of London's most famous cinemas which fling out
their red carpets for special film premieres throughout the year. The
southern border of WC2 runs along the Embankment and includes Charing
Cross Station and the magnificent Somerset House, which boasts the
Courtauld Gallery collection as well as an open square which hosts ice
skating in the winter and open-air concerts in the summer. To the east,
WC2 includes the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand and the pretty
Lincoln's Inn Fields, home of the marvellous Sir John Soane's Museum and
a few tennis courts, which attract students from the neighbouring
London School of Economics in the summer months. In recent years, estate
agents have tried to rebrand the WC1 and WC2 areas of London as
"Midtown" but it has yet to really catch on.
Heathrow
Heathrow Airport today announced that the new Terminal 2 will be home to
STAR Alliance and Aer Lingus flights as well as Virgin Atlantic’s
domestic routes when it opens in 2014.
