West End
London's West End is the city's main theatre destination, with a concentration of musical-theatre venues around Shaftesbury Avenue, Soho, Leicester Square, Covent Garden and the Strand.
For a musical-focused trip, use this district to explore theatre locations and plan time for dinner before a performance. West End productions also play outside the central cluster, including in Victoria.
The mapped extent is an approximate Theatreland boundary, using Oxford Street and its continuation via New Oxford Street and High Holborn to the north, Kingsway and Aldwych to the east, the Strand to the south, and Regent Street to the west. It is a visitor-planning approximation rather than an administrative boundary.
