World's End

Edge of existence

World's End is a place name suggesting the farthest reaches of known territory—where maps run out and the familiar gives way to mystery.

It appears in pub names, neighborhoods, and coastal landmarks across Britain, often marking spots that once felt remote: We hiked out to World's End on the cliffs.

The phrase also describes any desolate or isolated place: This feels like the world's end.
