Talk:Whitehall

---

Whitehall runs from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square, where the Palace of Westminster is located. The Houses of Parliament are located within the Palace of Westminster.

Notable places of interest along the route are: Horseguards, The Foreign and Commenwealth Office, The Home Office, Banqueting House, The Ministry of Defence, The Cenotaph, Downing Street and Portcullis House. There may be more, (Scottish Office, Welsh Office for example)I'll need to check.

The Statement that Whitehall runs from Trafalgar Square past the Houses of Parliament, needs correcting. --Martin TB 07:47, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Actually, to be mildly pedantic, it doesn't run from Parliament Square, but into Parliament Street, which runs into Parliament Square, but given that it's a matter of just a few metres, I think we can ignore it in the article. Thanks for spotting this, but feel free to correct it yourself in future. :-)

I've corrected it. :-) The difference is more significant than you might think... -- ChrisO 10:05, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Many thanks :) I only joined yesterday and am still learning. --Martin TB 13:10, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Downing Street Gates

This article states that the Downing Street gates were installed in 1986. However the Downing Street page says 1989. I think the latter is correct, does the author of the 1986 statement have a source? C.harrison1988 (talk) 20:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It was definitely 1989. I'll correct the article and add a reference. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Whitehall tunnel system

Could there be some information on this please? Thanks, Flosssock1 (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

White Hall

I note that an old map of the area names it White Hall. When were the two words merged to form Whitehall? 15 June 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.198.49 (talk) 09:43, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

"still is"

"The name Whitehall was originally only used for the section of road between Charing Cross and Holbein Gate; beyond this it was known as The Street as far as King Street Gate, then King Street thereafter." Harfarhs (talk) 15:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Oh yes, I got that arse-backwards and have reverted. Sorry! Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:04, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

No worries :) Harfarhs (talk) 16:07, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

What's that got to do with this article? I was thinking we need something about protests along Whitehall, but we'd need a source that covers the topic generally, rather than just whatever the most recent news report is. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:32, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
