More About West End
The West End is without doubt one of London's most exciting and cultural areas, with so much entertainment on offer you may never want to leave. Fortunately, there are lots of West End hotels that will allow you to enjoy the experience while it lasts.
The Glamour of the West End
Today, the West End is seen as one of the coolest, most desirable locations in the world, the place to be seen for the rich and famous. It hasn't always been this way of course, one theory behind the reason the upper classes gravitated there initially was that it was upwind of London's notorious 'smog', but it has long been regarded as one of London's most glamorous corners. Its nightlife is well-renowned, and the best place to find it is Soho, where the mix of cultures and different nightclubs ensures an unforgettable evening's entertainment.
West End Theatre
The West End is not nicknamed 'Theatreland' for nothing, with around 50 major theatres to be found within the West End boundaries. The most famous area for theatre is of course Leicester Square, which also regularly finds itself in the showbiz spotlight whenever a major film premiere comes to town. Famous West End theatres include The Apollo, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, The Haymarket, The London Palladium, The Old Vic, The Royal Opera House and The Savoy.
West End Shopping
The landscape of London shopping was changed forever when American H. Gordon Selfridge opened his flagship store on Oxford Street in 1909. It was retail on a scale never before seen in the UK, and millions of people were soon passing through its doors. Today, Selfridges is the second largest shop in the UK (after Harrods in nearby Knightsbridge) and is the jewel in the department store crown of Oxford Street, which stretches for over a mile from Tottenham Court Road to Marble Arch. Hamleys toy store on Regent Street is also a particularly famous place to pick up a few gifts.
Getting to the West End
This of course depends on what you want to do. The London Underground is the quickest and best method of transport, and there are stations at Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly Lines) and Piccadilly Circus (Bakerloo and Piccadilly), while Covent Garden (Piccadilly) is another fine corner of the West End and Green Park (Jubilee, Victoria, Piccadilly) is the perfect place to start if you want to get to Buckingham Palace.
Oxford Street has four tube stops along it - Tottenham Court Road (Northern, Central), Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Victoria, Central), Bond Street (Jubilee, Central) and Marble Arch (Central). Tottenham Court Road is also where you should get off if you want to get to Soho.
Hotels in the West End
As you would expect from somewhere as famously glamorous as the West End, the choice of luxurious hotels is almost endless. Whether you like your luxury boutique or traditional, there is plenty of both. St Martins Lane is arguably one of the finest boutique hotels in the city, while Radisson Hampshire, Hazlitts and Royal Trafalgar are all stunning and found just a stone's throw away from some of London's most famous attractions.
West End Pubs and Bars
Obviously, in an area as large as the West End, one thing you do not need to worry about is lack of choice. Whether you want somewhere loud or quiet and whatever your favoured drink, the West End will hold something to suit. The Cork and Bottle in Leicester Square is a wonderful wine bar that is ideal for some pre-theatre drinks, while Bar Rumba in Soho is packed full of music and dance and boasts an extensive menu of cocktails and shooters. For a good old fashioned pint of ale, head to Angel in the Fields on Bond Street.
West End Restaurants
It is certainly possible to find a good value meal in the West End, and once again your options are plentiful. Gaucho in Piccadilly is an upmarket steakhouse that never disappoints, while if seafood is your thing you should seek out Wright Brothers in Soho. Sometimes, of course, you really want to push the boat out, and there are few better places in the West End than The Northall. Situated just a short walk from Covent Garden, this beautiful British menu may be pricey, but it is certainly worth it.
West End Parking
You can probably guess that the cost of parking in the West End is not particularly palatable. If there is no other alternative, the best you can hope for is the trio of NCP car parks at the east end of Oxford Street, each open 24 hours and each costing £36 for a full day's parking. These are Tottenham Court Road (WC1B 3AJ), Shaftesbury (WC1A 1JP) and Covent Garden (WC2B 5NT), all located within easy reach of your chosen West End hotels.
