Charing Cross, Lahore
Charing Cross, renamed Faisal Square ("Faisal Chowk" in Urdu and Punjabi), and now officially renamed as Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam to honour the founder of the nation of Pakistan, is a neighbourhood of Lahore, Pakistan, located on Mall Road. Laid out during the British period, it is named for Charing Cross in London.〔N. Naz and Z. Ashraf, (Transformation of Urban Open Spaces of Lahore: From Charing Cross to Faisal Square ), ''Pak. J. Engg. & Appl. Sci.'' Vol. 2, Jan 2008, pp. 65-78〕
Until 1951 a marble pavilion at Charing Cross displayed a bronze statue of Queen Victoria, but now the statue's place in the pavilion is occupied by a bronze replica of the Quran.〔Mariam Qureshi, (Now you see them, now you don’t ), ''Daily Times (Pakistan)'', Friday, August 6, 2004〕
==Etymology==
Although it has been thought that the term Charing derived from the French term ''chere reine'' (dear Queen), it is more likely to stem from the Old English, ''cearring'', meaning a bend in the river (In London, at the site of the village of Charing, coming from Westminster, the Thames makes a dramatic 90-degree turn to the east).〔(Transformation of Urban Open Spaces of Lahore: From Charing Cross to Faisal Square )〕
