London area of W1 guide
What to do and where to stay in London's W1 neighbourhood
Known as West One or the West End, and comprising of Mayfair, Marylebone and Soho, the W1 postcode district is split into 14 sub-sections, each with another letter tagged on the end. For instance, the doctors, surgeons and private specialists of Harley Street are located in W1G; the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus and the artists of the Royal Academy are found in W1J; while the celebrated tailors of Savile Row and the glamorous workers of Vogue House (the headquarters of Conde Nast) are W1S. The W1 postcode contains some of London's most prized addresses - from the swish apartments of Mayfair (W1J and W1K) to the shops of Regent Street (W1B) and Oxford Street (W1C), not forgetting the myriad restaurants of Chinatown (W1D) and the bustling nightlife of Soho (W1D and W1F). In short, some of London's best shops, theatres, museums, restaurants and nightlife can all be found in W1.
