Talk:Aldwych

Etymology
"Old outlying farm" is a bit boring as an etymology. There are many "wych"/"wich" place names that indicate a status of a port or landing place, and in the case of Aldwych it would be worth mentioning that in saxon times the road would have been pretty much on the river bank (like the strand). There is also the connection with the saxon name for london itself, Lundonwic, so aldwych is a reminder of the saxon settlement growing up outside the walls of the abandoned roman city.

Although this is on the Aldwych island, is it officially on Aldwych? --Popeyedoyle 20:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
It would be good to give the pronunciation of "Aldwych" .. (Merlin Cox 13/03/2007)

In the History section it says "Lundenwic (the last syllable pronounced as today)". I genuinely don't know what this means. I would pronounce that name "London wick", but does it mean pronounced as "Aldwych" is pronounced today, i.e. "London witch"?
