Northumberland Avenue
Northumberland Avenue is a street in the City of Westminster in central London that runs from Trafalgar Square in the west to the Thames Embankment in the east. The road was built on the site of Northumberland House, the London home of the Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland between 1874 and 1876.
When built, the street was designed for luxury accommodation, including the seven-storey Grand Hotel. The Playhouse Theatre opened in 1882 and become a significant venue in London. From the 1930s onwards, hotels disappeared from Northumberland Avenue and were replaced by offices. The street has been commemorated in the ''Sherlock Holmes'' novels, and is a square on the British Monopoly board.
