CHARING CROSS , the locality about the west end of the Strand and the north end of Whitehall, on the
south
 -
east
  side of Trafalgar Square, London, England. It falls within the bounds of the city of Westminster. Here
Edward
  I. erected the last of the
series
  of crosses to the memory of his queen, Eleanor (d. 1290). It stood near the present entrance to Charing
1 According to some authorities, this is a second Charidemus, the first disappearing from history after being superseded by Chares in the Olynthian war.
Cross
  station of the
South
 -Eastern & Chatham railway, in the courtyard of which a fine
modern
 
cross
  has been erected within a few feet of the exact site. A popular derivation of the name connected it with
Edward
 's " dear queen " (there reine), and a
village
  of Cherringe or Charing
grew
  up here later, but the true origin of the name is not known. There is a
village
  of Charing in
Kent
 , and the name is connected by some with that of a Saxon family, Cerring.
