Where, in London, could Eisenhowerplatz be found?

During the Second World War, Dwight D. Eisenhower established a military headquarters at 20 Grosvenor Square, and during this time the square was nicknamed "Eisenhower Platz". Until 2009, the United States Navy continued to use this building as its headquarters for United States Naval Forces Europe. A statue of Franklin D. Roosevelt, sculpted by Sir William Reid Dick, stands in the square, as does a later statue of Eisenhower and later one of Ronald Reagan.

How did this get published with the spelling errors? Eisenhower Platz (two words) and Grosvenor Square (correct in explanation but incorrect in the question).

James Taylor, I knew the name from National Geographic and the Smithsonian.

Helga U. Williams, maybe so when German tourists visit, they get the punchline.

Gee, by that name it should be a location in Berlin, not in London! In Berlin you have one Platz after another! 😊

Poorly worded question.

Not knowing London, I thought that "Grosvenor" Square sounded like a good name for the inclusion of such an establisment. I held Whitehall aside to use if the backup was needed.

I must have missed something. What was Reagan's war? What was Reagan's war?

Tom McKenna, Reagan brought about the end of the cold war.

Val Wilkinson, Agree! Don't know how he's included with FDR and Eisenhower.

Stella Maris Rodriguez Guarino, I was just going to write a reply saying that he was a very good actor, then saw this and realized you probably confused him with Reagan.
