About Whitehall

Whitehall is a road and area in the City of Westminster, Central London, England. The road forms the first part of the A3212 road from Trafalgar Square to Chelsea. It is the main thoroughfare running south from Trafalgar Square towards Parliament Square. The street is recognised as the centre of the Government of the United Kingdom and is lined with numerous departments and ministries, including the Ministry of Defence, Horse Guards, the Cabinet Office, and much of the Foreign Office. Consequently, the name "Whitehall" is used as a metonym for the British civil service and government, and as the geographic name for the surrounding area.

There is a pub in Whitehall in London called The Silver Cross Pub, which is technically the nation's only legal brothel, because it was given a licence by Charles I, which has never been revoked.

Other times Whitehall came up

  1. So like, you'd be in the first half, you'd be winning five daily. You'd end up losing like 21-5. I played a league in Brighton, and we played on one the other day. If you've ever been to Whitehall, it's a fantastic club in Whitehall, but their ground is on a slope, sort of left to right and up to that. You could ski down it. You could ski down it.
