"The Strand with Somerset House and St. Mary le Strand" is a historical painting attributed to the English School, a term used to categorize works by unknown or various artists from England, particularly during a period where individual artist attribution was less common. This painting captures a quintessential view of The Strand, a major thoroughfare in the City of Westminster, Central London, during a time when it was one of the most fashionable streets in the city.

The artwork is notable for its depiction of two prominent London landmarks: Somerset House and the Church of St. Mary le Strand. Somerset House, originally built in the Tudor period and extensively rebuilt in the late 18th century, has served various roles, from a royal residence to government offices, and is now a cultural and arts center. St. Mary le Strand, a Baroque church designed by the architect James Gibbs, is the second church to bear that name and has been a significant ecclesiastical building since its consecration in 1723.
