Charing Cross Road is a relatively new street. It was built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras in order to ease severe traffic congestion in central London – probably caused by those horny Victorian gentlemen all rushing off to visit their favourite incall and outcall London escorts at the same time. It just shows that some of the concerns of Londoners haven’t changed much, even in over a hundred years! The street forms the boundary between Soho in Westminster and St. Giles in Holborn, both very popular areas with sexy blonde, brunette and redhead London escorts. It takes its name from the Charing Cross itself, a monument which was raised in the hamlet of Charing by King Edward I in 1290 A.D. Edward put up several such crosses to mark the route of the funeral procession of his wife Queen Eleanor. He was bereft by her death, and had to spend the rest of his life working his way through a succession of callgirls from top London escort agencies, which were flourishing even in the thirteenth century.
There were originally twelve of these ‘Eleanor Crosses’, but today only three survive, and even the most famous one, which stands outside Charing Cross Station, is actually a more ornate replica made in Victorian times. Too many busty young teenage escorts had been having late-night assignations against the old one, leading it to collapse.
Leave Trafalgar Square, head north past the Eleanor Cross outside Charring Cross Station, and you’ll find yourself in London’s bookseller country. Charing Cross Road and the nearby Cecil Court are probably unequally anywhere in the world for the numbers of specialist bookshops they hold. A number of the UK’s most famous and distinctive independent bookstores are located on Charing Cross Road, including Zwemmers, which specializes in art and design books, Murder One, which specializes in crime novels and romances, and the Comics Showcase, which specializes in comic books and graphic novels. The top end of Charing Cross Road displays the more mainstream end of the book market, boasting large branches Waterstones and Borders, and the world-famous Foyles. Most London escorts are highly educated young ladies, and the bookshops of Charing Cross road are among their favourite spots for spending their spare time between incall and outcall dates.
Harry Potter fans may well recall that Charing Cross Road is the fictional location of wizards’ pub The Leaky Cauldron, through the courtyard of which it’s possible to get into the magical Diagon Alley. However, it isn’t only in the realm of fiction that exploring the streets around Charing Cross Road can be enjoyable. Of particular note is the nearby Denmark Street, famous across London and beyond for its music shops.
Charing Cross Road is very convenient for the incall apartments of a number of the most popular escorts working with elite London escort agencies such as Angels of London.
