London’s West End

London’s West End is one of the most iconic, celebrated and exciting places in the world. Comprising just a few square miles, it sits at the heart of a global city projected to grow to over 10m people over the next 15-20 years. The West End:

Has the busiest shopping district in the world around Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street.
Hosts some of the most famous centres of cultural activity in the world, with public events and iconic public spaces that are hugely popular with Londoners and visitors alike.
Is home to 30 museums, public and private galleries and 40 theatres showcasing a diverse range of visual and performing arts.
In Soho, has the most LGBTQ+ friendly bars and clubs in London.
Borders three Royal Parks and contains seven historic parks and gardens.

Many streets, squares and areas have been improved over the last 10 years and more are due shortly – for example, the transformation of the Oxford Street District and Tottenham Court Road/Gower Street. The opening of the Elizabeth Line will create greater demand for, and access to, the West End.
