A relentless change which is sweeping over London, reached one of the, most famous spots in old London when the Golden Cross Hotel adjoining Trafalgar Square, closed its doors for the last time during the week-end. Three hundred years of London history is associated with the Golden Cross. It was the Golden Cross to which David Copperfieid came from Canterbury, where Dickens represented Pickwick’s encounter with the.cabman; also from which Pickwick drove the Commodore coach to Rochester Hotel.
Together with a great block of adjoining buildings, including South Africa House, the Golden Cross, is one of the few remaining landmarks, which are now being demolished.
