The West End is the richest and most beautiful part of London. It is the symbol
of wealth and luxury. The best hotels, shops, restaurants, clubs, and theatres are situ-
ated there. There are splendid houses and lovely gardens belonging to wealthy peo-
ple.
Trafalgar Square is the geographical centre of London. It was named in memory
of Admiral Nelson's victory in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The tall Nelson's Col-
umn stands in the middle of the square.
On the north side of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery and the National
Portrait Gallery. Not far away is the British Museum — the biggest museum in Lon-
don. It contains a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, coins, sculptures, etc,
and is famous for its library.
The East End is the poorest district of London. There are a lot of factories,
workshops and docks here. The streets are narrow, the buildings are unimpressive.
The East End is densely populated by working class families.
