Whitehall, Government avenue in City of Westminster, England

Whitehall extends from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square, containing numerous government departments and administrative buildings along its 0.4-mile length.

The street derives its name from Palace of Whitehall, which served as the main residence of English monarchs from Henry VIII until its destruction by fire in 1698.

The Cenotaph, Britain's central war memorial, stands in the middle of Whitehall and hosts the annual National Service of Remembrance each November.

The street connects to Westminster and Charing Cross Underground stations, with security checkpoints near government buildings requiring visitor identification.

The Banqueting House remains the only surviving structure of the former Palace of Whitehall, featuring ceiling paintings by Peter Paul Rubens.
