The West End - the centre of London
The West End of London is
that part of Central London where you'll find many of London's biggest
tourist attractions, businesses, and West End theatres. If you don't
know London well, and you want a central hotel within reach of all the
big attractions, anywhere in the West End will suit you fine. The area
is relatively small and the Underground ("Tube") will take you anywhere
in minutes. The various districts of the West End are listed below, and
you can click on each one
for hotels and guest houses or other accommodation in that area:
Just outside the West End - still in the heart of London
Other areas of London - a little further afield
In case you're still wondering what the "West End" means.....
The West End of London is that part of
Central London where you'll find many of London's biggest tourist
attractions, businesses, and West End theatres. The expression originated
in the early 19th century, when it was used to refer to the area to the
west of Charing Cross. The West End is also located to the west of the
historic Roman and Mediaeval City of London. It was a place where the rich
elite settled because it was mostly upwind of the perfidious smoke
drifting across from the crowded City. Another reason why the rich settled
here was that the West End was (and still is) close to the seat of power
at Westminster. The area was originally built as a series of expensive
town houses, royal palaces, shops and entertainment venues. The nearer you
went to the city, around Holborn, Seven Dials and Covent Garden, the
poorer the areas - these were eventually redeveloped in the nineteenth
century.
The term "West End" is very flexible - it
has different meanings to different people: it can refer to the
entertainment district around Leicester Square and Covent Garden; or to
the fashionable shopping area which revolves around Oxford Street, Regent
Street, and Bond Street; others would include the shopping area in
Knightsbridge and it can even refer to the whole area west of the
City of London.
When you take this broad definition of the
West End, you actually have encompassed London's main areas of interest to
the average visitor, apart from financial services, which are located in
the City of London. Indeed, most of the following are in the West End:
- Major art galleries and museums
- Company headquarters
- Educational facilities
- Embassies
- Government buildings
- Hotels
- Institutions, educational or learned
societies (like the Royal Society for the Arts) and think tanks
- Legal institutions, the judiciary, law
courts and chambers
- BBC radio
- Theatres and cinemas, bars, restaurants
and nightclubs
- Shopping areas
Under this broad definition, the inner
districts of the West End are:
- Bloomsbury
- Covent Garden
- Fitzrovia
- Holborn
- Marylebone
- Mayfair
- Seven Dials
- Soho
- St. James's
- Westminster
South, north and west of Hyde Park and
Kensington Gardens are some areas which were once thought of as being in
the West End, but use of that term in relation to these areas, which lie
to the west of Park Lane is less common nowadays.
- Knightsbridge
- Belgravia
- Pimlico
- Chelsea
- South Kensington
- Bayswater
- Paddington
- Notting Hill
- Holland Park
