LONDON WEST
END
& SOHO
The London West End - The West End is
the center of London, or what you might call 'downtown'
Many of London's
famous theaters are located in the area. For more information on theater
tickets, visit London Theater Online for the latest and greatest musicals,
comedy and drama.
In fact this area
of London is W1 (West One) in the City of Westminster. You’ll find the best of
London shopping here as well, from the big name stores to fabulous niche shops
selling almost everything. It is truly a shopper's paradise and a major hub of
activity in the city.
The bus routes converge and suddenly there are endless red buses
in all direction. The crowds of shoppers are also endless. There are people as
far as the eye can see, crowding on all points of the compass since West End
streets don’t run North-South, East-West, but off in many directions, down
alleys and side streets, yet every one of them with their contingent of people
packed onto the narrow pavements, all looking for bargains or just people
watching.
You'll love walking
around the West End. Oxford Street, Regent Street with its lovely curved
buildings, Bond Street (Old and New), and of course Picadilly - one of the
world's busiest circles and for lovers, the statue of Eros is always a must
see.
Nearby is Liberty,
a store built in the Tudor fashion. Each department is housed within its own
room and the goods are spectacular. Liberty is especially famous for its
printed fabric, rich colors and silks. We recommend walking around and exploring
the entire area as there is much to take in around Britain's premier shopping
area
