Adelphi, London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adelphi (Greek: adelphoi, "brothers") is a district of London, England in the City of Westminster.[1] The small district includes the streets of Adelphi Terrace, Robert Street and John Adam Street.[1]
[edit] Adelphi Buildings
The district is named from the Adelphi Buildings, a block of 24 unified neoclassical terrace houses occupying the land between The Strand and the River Thames. They were built by the Adam brothers (John, Robert, James and William Adam). The ruins of Durham House on the site were demolished for their construction. The nearby Adelphi Theatre is named after the Adelphi Buildings.
