See explanation Explanation: "Central London" is a term that tends to be used to describe the commercial and entertainment centres in the centre of London, in particular those centred around the West End, i.e. in close proximity to Oxford St and Piccadily and has a fairly positive feel e.g. "the bright lights of the West End and Central London". "Inner London" has a more political flavour and would tend to be used to describe a wider area and in particular local authority boroughs such as Wandsworth, Lambeth, Camden and Southwark. Although it has a legitmate neutral tone, it is also used to refer collectively to those boroughs who suffer social problems e.g. "the Inner London housing shortage" and therefore has a slightly negative undertone. |
