Named in 1353 (strand meaning shore) , it has a long history. Industries included malt-houses, repair yards, barge-builders and wharves. The City Barge was renamed in 1807, when it was changed in honour of the Lord Mayors city barge moored over winter nearby. Oliver's Island is a small eyot in the river Thames opposite. It acquired its name after rumours that Oliver Cromwell used the island as a hide-out and held military councils at the Bull's Head pub during the English Civil War.
