It&#8217;s the heart of the city&#8217;s entertainment, culture and shopping scene. But how much do you really know about this vibrant area? Here are some cool and little-known facts about the West End that might surprise you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The West End is home to the world&#8217;s longest-running play and musical. The Mousetrap, a murder mystery by Agatha Christie, has been running continuously since 1952 at the St Martin&#8217;s Theatre. Les Mis\u00e9rables, a musical adaptation of Victor Hugo&#8217;s novel, has been running since 1985 at the Queen&#8217;s Theatre. Both shows have seen millions of visitors and countless cast changes over the years.<\/li>\n<li>It has a hidden river underneath it. The River Tyburn flows from Hampstead Heath to the Thames, passing under Marylebone Lane, Oxford Street and Green Park. The river was once a source of water for the city, but it was gradually covered up by development. You can still see traces of it in some places, such as the dip in Oxford Street near Bond Street station.<\/li>\n<li>The West End has a beer flood in its history. In 1814, a huge vat of beer at the Horse Shoe Brewery on Tottenham Court Road burst, causing a wave of 570 tonnes of beer to flood the streets. Eight people died in the disaster, either drowned by the beer or crushed by the crowd trying to drink it. The site of the brewery is now occupied by the Dominion Theatre.<\/li>\n<li>The area has some of the most haunted theatres in London. Many theatres claim to have ghostly residents, but none more so than the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The theatre is said to be haunted by several spirits, including a Man in Grey, who appears before successful shows, a clown named Joseph Grimaldi, who helps actors with their lines, and an actor named Charles Macklin, who killed a fellow performer in a fit of rage.<\/li>\n<li>It has some of the most expensive properties in London. Mayfair, an area in the West End near Hyde Park, is one of the most affluent and exclusive areas in the city. It has some of the highest rents and property prices in the world, as well as luxury hotels, restaurants and shops.
