Whilst every part of London has its fair share of attractions, no other area can compete with the West End when it comes to entertainment, history, fine dining and scenery. In short, this area has it all. The hotels here are often booked to capacity throughout the year, and so if you intend to treat yourself and your loved ones to a visit, it's always best to book ahead of time. However, provided you organise your trip in advance, you'll have a plethora of hotels to choose from; the West End is home to opulent, five-star establishments, quirky boutique hotels, budget-friendly lodgings, and everything in between.
What's more, when you stay in a West London hotel - regardless of whether you opt for a luxury suite or a basic, inexpensive room - you'll never be too far away from a fabulous restaurant, a charming little caf© or a fascinating museum. Walk in any direction, or hop on the Tube, and within just a few minutes, you'll find yourself surrounded by sights and attractions. The convenient location of the hotels in this part of the city mean that you needn't waste a moment of your holiday; rather than driving for hours, or enduring a seemingly endless bus journey in order to reach an attraction that you want to see, you can simply enjoy every single minute of your time away.
Whilst there are many €must-see' attractions here, a visit to the West End simply wouldn't be complete without taking in a show. Along with New York's Broadway, the West End is considered to be the penultimate in commercial theatre. There are forty venues to choose from, each hosting a range of comedies, plays and musicals throughout the year. And don't forget to go for a quick pre-show meal; you'll find an incredible variety of restaurants here - from the gourmet dishes of Covent Garden Michelin-star establishments, to the fresh and fragrant ethic cuisine of Leicester Square's eateries, you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer number of dining options you'll have during a stay in the West End.
During the day, you can while away afternoons admiring the magnificent artwork in the National Gallery and the Tate Britain, or enjoy a picnic in the picturesque Regent's Park. Alternatively, you can indulge in a little retail therapy - the West End is thought by many to be a shopper's paradise. Browse the markets of Portobello Rd, check out the high street shops on Oxford Street, or treat yourself to something new in one of the designer stores on Bond Street.
