 A new station building was constructed that Sir John Betjeman described as " the most charming of all the Edwardian and neo @-@ Georgian Renaissance stations . " For the opening of the CCE & HR extension , the deep @-@ level parts of the station were named Charing Cross ( Embankment ) although the sub @-@ surface platforms remained as Charing Cross . In 1915 , this was rectified by changing the name of the whole station to Charing Cross . The CCE & HR station to the north was renamed Strand at the same time ( causing a nearby station of the GNP & BR to change its name from Strand to Aldwych ) .
