The West End of London

The West End Trafalgar Square is called the heart of London because it connects the political area of Westminster to the rest of West London. Lord Nelson's column stands in the center of the beautiful square. Horatio Nelson was a great British commander who defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Trafalgar but unfortunately he himself was killed. To the north and west from the Trafalgar Square is the West End, which is London's main shopping and entertainment area. Most of London's best residential and commercial areas are in the West End. You can find there expensive shops, restaurants, hotels, museums and many art galleries. Great Britain's biggest department store is in Knightsbridge. It was founded in 1834 by Charles Henry Harrod. Harrods is also the world's first building with an escalator. Today Harrods is an amazing place with over 330 shops, which includes twenty-six fine eating places, where you can go eat, when hungry.
