Queens is a borough of New York City on western Long Island. The large st borough
in New York City, Queens has a land area of about 282 sq km. Being a residential
section, Queens has numerous well-defined neighborhoods. Jamaica, Long Island
City, and Maspeth are business centres of the borough. Queens is linked to extensive
transportation facilities that include municipal subway and bus lines and the Long
Island Rail Road, which provides service to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island.
The borough has an extensive network of limited-access highways and is linked to
Manhattan by the Queensboro Bridge. The area south of the Thames has long been
regarded with disdain by the rest of the city. For centuries Southwark, originally the
area around the southern end of London Bridge, was the disreputable entertain ment
center of London, with brothels, bars, and theatres outside of the City’s jurisdiction.
Not far from the infamous Bankside, where brutal sports like cockfighting and
bearbaiting took place, was the beautiful Southwark Cathedral, which dates from the
13th century. Bankside was also the location of Elizabethan theatres, which were
restricted in the City because they were considered places of vice. One of these, the
Globe Theatre, where William Shakespeare put on his greatest plays, was recently
reconstructed.
