City of Westminster green plaque marking Caxton Hall, London, UK, where Sir Winston Churchill spoke between 1937 - 1942.


"Caxton Hall was constructed in 1878 as the Westminster City hall and Chapel Street was changed to Caxton Street after the printer William Caxton. The building has been an important location for political events as well as the scene of many celebrity marriages. The front part of the building complex was listed because of its associations with the suffragette movement. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) activities included the holding of a ‘Women's Parliament’ at Caxton Hall at the beginning of each parliamentary session, with a subsequent procession to the Houses of Parliament and the attempt (always unsuccessful) to deliver a petition to the prime minister in person. It has been the scene of many political meetings in the 20th century."
