London

Westmins-ter

The City

The West End

The East End

The City is the oldest part of London, its

financial and business centre. There are many

offices, companies and banks in this

part of the capital. The Tower of

London and St Paul’s Cathedral

are situated in the City.

Westminster is the most important part of London,

where Parliament and most

government offices are located.

Westminster Abbey is regarded as the centre of this area.

The East End used to be a purely

working district where working-class families

lived. We still can find a great number of factories,

workshops and docks there. But

now the docks are being renovated.

The West End is a symbol of

wealth and luxury. The

best hotels, the most expensive

restaurants, clubs, theatres, cinemas, shops

and supermarkets

are located here.
