west end

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of london' is the definition.
(I know that West End is part of London)

'bridge couple are inclined to traverse slowly at first' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'are inclined' could be 'tend' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tend' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wes' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for west end that I've seen before include "lots of entertainment here" , "Part of central London" , "London theatre area" , "fashionable area" , "London's theatreland" .)
