A400 road (Great Britain)


The A400 road is an A road in London that runs from Charing Cross (near Trafalgar Square, in London's West End) to Archway in North London. As it does so, it includes a number of Central London's most famous streets and passes some of its most famous landmarks.

Starting at Charing Cross, it starts off as the Charing Cross Road, passing over Cambridge Circus before becoming the northern part of Shaftesbury Avenue, Bloomsbury Street and Gower Street in one direction, and Tottenham Court Road in the other. Passing over the Euston Road, it becomes the Hampstead Road (so-called because it was traditionally the road to Hampstead from London), then Camden High Street in one direction, and Camden Street in the other, as it passes through Camden Town and over the Regent's Canal, and then becomes Kentish Town Road as it passes through Kentish Town, and Fortess Road, on its way to Tufnell Park. From Tufnell Park, it then becomes Junction Road until it terminates at Archway.

Places of interest on the route of the A400 include Trafalgar Square, the National Portrait Gallery, Leicester Square, Foyles, Denmark Street, the Garrick Theatre, Phoenix Theatre, Palace Theatre, Dominion Theatre, Shaftesbury Theatre, and Central YMCA Club, University College London, the British Museum, and the Senate House, Koko (formerly the Camden Palace), and the former TV-AM "Breakfast Television Centre" (now in use by MTV) at Hawley Crescent.
