This was
a fun day exploring
more of Central London which is divided into three areas: The City, The West End and West London. The West End, or 'downtown' London is famous for Picadilly Circus, and Leicester Square (les`-ter), and Covent Garden. Each of these areas offer great 'people-watching', theater, entertainment and shopping. |
