West End, London

The West End is a loosely defined area of central London. It is bounded on the west by Marble Arch, Park Lane, St James's Park and on the east by Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Bloomsbury. The area includes Oxford Street, Bond Street and Regent Street (and therefore many of the most prestigious shops in London), Soho (restaurants and night life including pornography), the Theatre District, many of London's best hotels (including the Ritz, the Dorchester and the Connaught) and many of the embassy buildings.
