Comment
The Aldwych and Kingsway scheme was the London County Council's first large urban improvement scheme in central London. It was opened in 1905 and signalled the council's vision of London as a modern city of tree-lined boulevards, office blocks and free-flowing traffic.http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/aldwych-and-kingsway-scheme-1905-and-1920-1929
