West End
Shaftesbury Avenue district
West End typically refers to the western part of a city, most famously London's West End, which is the heart of the city's theater, entertainment, and upscale shopping districts.
A West End production or show carries prestige comparable to Broadway in New York.
The term applies to fashionable western neighborhoods in other cities as well, often suggesting wealth or cultural significance.
We saw a West End musical during our London trip.
