Whitehall / Parliament Street
Whitehall / Parliament Street
Westminster, London
Whitehall is essentially the heart of British Government, with many departments in the buildings along the road, not least the Cabinet and Foreign Offices, and access to Downing Street. It is so named from the original Palace of Whitehall on the site, which was lost to fire in 1698. The southern end leading to Parliament Square is really called Parliament Street, but as there is no real distinction between the two roads this is often overlooked!
