| WEBSITE: Restaurants in the UK Guide by EatOutGoOut.com Restaurants in Chinatown and the West End of London The West End of London with it's theatres, cinemas, museums, galleries , restaurants, clubs and pubs is a magnet for visitors for near and far. They come to see a show or film, have a good meal and to go clubbing. The West End is a place of extremes where world class theatres, museums and galleries rub shoulder with tacky tourist traps. Trafalgar Square is the closest you'll get to the heart of London. Towering this busy place is the 50m tall Nelson's Column celebrating Napoleon's defeat at sea in 1805. The column and the four bronze lions to its foot were designed by Landseer and attract tourists and pigeons in equal numbers. The National Galleries impressive facade stretches along the entire north side of Trafalgar Square. The National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery are open for the public from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm except Wednesdays, when it closes at 8 pm, and Sunday from 2 to 6 pm. Leaving Trafalgar Square in to the north we find Leicester Square. Leicester Square is surrounded on all four sides by cinemas like the Empire and the Odeon. Many of the West End's club can be found here, like the famous Hippodrome. To the north of Leicester Square lies Chinatown with hundreds of Restaurants and shops, the focal point is the pedestrinanized Gerrard Street, but many other good Restaurants can be found in the surrounding street. Lisle Street, hiding behind the Empire, has a nice selection of Chinese and Japanese Restaurants you can try. Shaftbury Avenue with it's theaters forms the northern border to the neighboring Soho. To the West of Shaftbury Avenue and Chinatown lies Piccadilly Circus, world famous for it's neon lights and the statue of Eros the god of love. |
