Like the East End, the West End has a strong and memorable identity. There are few more visited areas in Britain. It is a vigorous place, laden with wealth, excitement and prestige. Its history, which West End Chronicles will detail, is captivating and eternally fascinating. Its story begins in the early years after the Fire of London when the rich and powerful looked west to the fields that covered what are now Soho, Mayfair, Larylebone and Fitzrovia to extend the capital. While Mayfair and Marylebone remained mostly exclusive, Soho and Fitzroiva acquired a range of characteristics typical of the capital, with slums and crime alongside comfort zones.

Review:
'the most pleasurable guide to the West End since the A-Z' Melanie McGrath, Seven

good, gossipy, well-informed ... and Glinert's enthusiasm for the alleys and alleycats ... is infectious (Tribune)

Everyone has their own experiences of the West End and Chronicles rounds up the best of them (The Independent on Sunday)
About the Author:
Ed Glinert was born in Dalston, east London. He is the author of The London Compendium, East End Chronicles and Literary London and leads a variety of walking tours around London. His fascination with people and place, the bizarre and the arcane, coupled with his forensic gift for digging out obscure stories, is perfectly suited to this uniquely interesting place.
