STATIONS: Holborn, on the Piccadilly Tube: Chancery Lane and Post Office on the Central London Tube � OMNIBUSES (Appx.) Nos. 7, 8, 17, 23, etc.
Holborn, beginning at the south end of Gray's Inn Road, forms a prolongation of the great thoroughfare between the West End and the City other parts of which are Oxford St. and High Holborn. The west limits of the City at this point (Holborn Bars) are indicated by small stone obelisks at the end of Gray's Inn Road and opposite Staple Inn. In the roadway stands the War Memorial of the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment), by Albert Toft (1922). Holborn derives its name from the fact that the Fleet River flowed through the valley here and was known as the �Hole-Bourne,� or stream in the hollow. The street escaped the ravages of the Great Fire (1666) and still contains a few ancient buildings.
