In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Duchy of Lancaster like this:
LANCASTER (DUCHY OF), a liberty in Strand district, Middlesex; forming part of the metropolis; and lying partly in the precinct of the Savoy and St Clement-Danes, but mostly in the parish of St. Mary-le-Strand. It includes the site of the palace of the Earls and Dukes of Lancaster.
