Kingsway in central London is a major historic dual-carriageway thoroughfare that runs north-south through the boroughs of Camden and the City of Westminster. It connects High Holborn at its northern end down toward Aldwych near the Strand and the River Thames. Built in the early twentieth century as part of a massive slum clearance and municipal tramway project, it remains a bustling business and legal artery surrounded by prominent academic, corporate, and institutional buildings.
