About Aldwych Aldwych is a place and road in the City of Westminster bordering the City of London. The road is a crescent, connecting to The Strand at both ends with Kingsway at its centre. Along its length are the Indian High Commission, the Australian High Commission at Australia House, the Aldwych and Novello theatres and prominently BBC's Bush House and the London School of Economics. Aldwych has been a home to London theatre since the street was first built at the turn of the 20th Century, although there are plenty of other attractions for the visitor to explore in and around the area. Situated just a short walk from the Thames, Aldwych is bounded on the west by the market stalls, shops and zany street entertainers of Covent Garden and on the east by Fleet Street and the edge of the City.
