Wardour Street originally used as a modifier denoting the pseudo-archaic diction affected by some modern writers of historical novels, and later used allusively to refer to the British film industry. It is the name of a street in central London, formerly mainly occupied by dealers in antique furniture, now the site of the central offices of the British film industry.
