Whitehall in the Seventeenth Century

Whitehall is a road in Westminster in London, England. It is the main artery running north from Parliament Square, towards traditional Charing Cross, now at the southern end of Trafalgar Square and marked by the statue of Charles I, which is often regarded as the heart of London. Recognised as centre of HM Government, the road is lined with government departments/ministries; “Whitehall” is therefore also frequently used as a metonym for governmental administration, as well as being a geographic name for the surrounding district.
