The northern area of the square had been the site of the King’s Mews since the time of Edward I and the southern end was the original Charing Cross, where the Strand from the City met Whitehall, coming north from Westminster. As the midpoint between these cities, Charing Cross is even now considered the heart of London, from which all distances today are measured. In the 1820s the Prince Regent engaged the landscape architect John Nash to redevelop the area and Nash cleared the square as part of his Charing Cross Improvement Scheme. The present architecture of the square is developed by Sir Charles Barry and was finished in 1845.
