Best Streets in London for the Fun & Wealthy Part 4 - Wardour Street



Wardour Street has existed, by one name or another, almost since the beginning of mapping in London. The current name, as applied to the whole length of the street from Leicester Square to Oxford Street only derives from the 1900's.

Previous to that only a portion of the current street was named Wardour Street. Sir Archibald Wardour was the designer of several of the buildings on the street and it derives its name from him.

Guide to London - Dining Out

Most London hotels have excellent restaurants if a hard day's retail therapy or trekking around the tourist trail has left you flummoxed. Eating out anywhere in London is quite an entertaining experience in itself.

If you are not in central London, then eating out locally can usually be decided after a quick chat with the hotel staff. Most areas have the usual Italian, Indian, Chinese and English restaurants/bistros.

Many areas also tend to cater for the local residents; in Bayswater for instance you will find a few good Middle East style restaurants.
