Strand follows the course of a Roman road, which ran from London towards Chiswick. Theatre in the Strand has always been an attraction and it was the hub of Victorian nightlife. Many, once famous, theatres have been demolished, but the Adelphi Theatre, the Savoy Theatre and Vaudeville Theatre have survived to the present day.
