The West End of London is a district of central London, west of the City of London (London, England). Today, it includes many tourist attractions and entertainment venues including the West End theatres. The West End was developed in the 17th to 19th centuries as a fashionable district with expensive homes and places of entertainment.

In London Labour and the London Poor edition: 

Phase 1

A VIsit to the Cholera Districts of Bermondsey (Morning Chronicle): "We might lay our fingers on the Ordnance map, and say here is the typhoid parish, and there the ward of cholera; for as truly as the West-end rejoices in the title of Belgravia, might the southern shores of the Thames be christened Pestilentia."

Tom-tom Players. (Volume 3): "I saw two of these performers in one of the West-end streets, creeping slowly down the centre of the road, and beating their drums with their hands, whilst they drawled out a kind of mournful song. Their mode of parading the streets is to walk one following the other, beating their oyster-barrel-shaped drums with their hands, which they make flap about from the wrist like flounders out of water, whilst they continue their droning song, and halt at every twenty paces to look round."

London Considered as a Great World. (The Great World of London): "Again, as regards the metropolitan people, the polite Parisian is not more widely different from the barbarous Botecudo, than, is the lack-a-daisical dandy at Almack's from the Billingsgate "rough." Ethnologists have reduced the several varieties of mankind into five distinct types; but surely the judges who preside at the courts in Westminster are as morally distinct from the Jew "fences" of Petticoat Lane as the Caucasian from the Malayan race. Is not the "pet parson," too, of some West End Puseyite Chapel as ethically and physically different from the London prize-fighter, and he again from the CityAlderman, as is the Mongol from the Negro, or the Negro from the Red Indian."
