Artists, authors and fashionable society have long enjoyed the pleasures of the parks and heaths that relieve west Londons' urban sprawl. Noblemen built their palaces and planted gardens here, along the banks of the river Thames. In the West End some of Englands finest architecture can be found among the Georgian squares and terraces that lie between Mayfair and Holborn. Handsome buildings house museums and art galleries containing the treasures of the worlds civilisations, while treasures of a different kind can be found in shops and boutiques of world renown.
