West London
The West End of London is part of the city centre of London in England.
The city centre also includes the City of London, which is the financial district, and by some definitions some other districts as well (see Central London). The West End contains most of London's major theatres, and is therefore synonymous with London's commercial theatre, hence a major tourist attraction.
