B. Picadilly and Saint Jame s

Picadilly is the main artery of the West End. The name comes from the

17th fashionable pickadillstan (remember the white piece of clothing round

their necks??). Saint James's still preserves buildings from the 18th

century, when it was full of Royal palaces and the court gathered and

shopped in the area. Two shops in Saint James's Street remind us of this

South Bank

The architecture of many of its buildings, especially the Hayward Gallery,

has been widely criticised. Today it is admired by people interested inculture. Also, one can find one of the new symbols of the new millenium

London, the London Eye; from its top there are great views of the town.

Southwark was the "escape" from The City, where people could findentertainment and forbidden pleasures. Borough High Street was full of

taverns, some of their Medieval yards have been preserved. At the end of

the 16th century, the area was full of theatres and premises for bear and

cock fights. One can still see a reproduction of The Globe Theatrein its

original setting. Also, we can see the Design Museum, historical pubs,
