The Story of London's Lost Wych Street
Wych Street was once one of London's most atmospheric thoroughfares, a narrow, winding lane of overhanging timber-framed houses dating back to the medieval era. By the late 1800s, it was one of the last streets in central London where you could still walk beneath Tudor gables. Then, in 1901, it was wiped off the map entirely to make way for the Aldwych and Kingsway redevelopment. In this video, we explore the fascinating history of Wych Street, what made it so unique, and why its demolition remains one of London's greatest architectural losses. #londonhistory #wychstreet
