Sardinia Street, Kingsway
Sardinia Street is a short street in the City of Westminster (south side) and the London Borough of Camden (north side) that runs from Kingsway to the south-west corner of Lincoln's Inn Fields. It was named after the old Sardinia Street that was demolished during the construction of Kingsway in 1905.
Buildings
[edit]
The north side of Sardinia street is wholly taken up by the New Academic Building of the London School of Economics (LSE), formerly the Public Trustee Office. In 2009, a sculpture by Richard Wilson was installed on its corner with Kingsway.[1][2] The K2 telephone kiosk on that corner is grade II listed with Historic England.[3]
The south side includes an office building, Sardinia House (c.1910[4]) of the LSE, and a King's College London building that fronts Kingsway.
