London's Kingsway runs from High Holborn, at its north end in the London Borough of Camden, and meets Aldwych in the south in the City of Westminster. The road forms the eastern boundary of Covent Garden, and is home to various buildings of the University of London. The closest tube stations are Holborn, and Temple.


 

Vancouver: Vancouver (pronounced ) is a Canadian city in the province of British Columbia. It is the largest metropolitan centre in western Canada and third largest in the country. The city's population is 545,671 and that of the metropolitan area is 1,986,965 (2001 census). http://www12.statcan.ca/english/cen...

20th century: The 20th century lasted from 1901 to 2000 in the Gregorian calendar. Common usage sometimes regards it as lasting from 1900 to 1999, but this is often considered incorrect due to the nonexistence of a "Year Zero" before AD 1. The 20th century is also sometimes known as the nineteen hundreds (1900s)...

High Holborn: High Holborn is a road in Holborn in central London. It starts in the west near St Giles' Circus, then goes east, past Bloomsbury Street, the Kingsway, and continues east. The road becomes Holborn at the junction with Gray's Inn Road....
