  • Northumberland Avenue er ei gate i sentrale London, mellom Trafalgar Square og Themsen. Gata ble anlagt i 1876 på stedet der Northumberland House tidligere hadde stått. Northumberland House var på 1600-tallet hertugene av Northumberlands eiendom i London. Sørsida av gata var tidligere dominert av et par storhoteller. Metropole Hotel ble i 1940 rekvirert av den britiske etterretningstjenestens avdeling MI9. Tyske bomber tok et hjørne av bygningen under Blitzen i september 1940. I dag finner en det britiske miljø- og matdepartementet på dette stedet. Nærmere Charing Cross lå Victoria Hotel, som også ble tatt i bruk av forsvaret. Her lå Special Operations Executive, som rekrutterte sabotører for oppdrag bak fiendens linjer. Forsvarsminsteriet holder stadig til her.
