The West End (Shuswap language: Tk'emlul̓pe) is an inner-city, South Shore neighbourhood of Kamloops, British Columbia in Canada. It is the city's oldest residential neighbourhood and has the largest proportion of heritage-designated buildings, including Kamloops' oldest public building, St. Andrew's on the Square (1887). In addition, the city's first school, Stuart Wood School, is located in the West End, as are the Kamloops Museum and Archives, St. Ann's Academy, the Kamloops Cenotaph at Memorial Hill Park, and the Kamloops Chinese Cemetery. Also notable are the large number of tall, broad deciduous trees planted in yards and along boulevards in the neighbourhood. These contribute to making the West End one of the greenest and shadiest areas of the city.
