Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus, together with Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square, is one of the most famous squares in London. Regardless of the time, it is always pleasantly busy at Piccadilly Circus. It is best known for its huge video screens with advertising and dazzling neon lighting. The square is therefore regularly compared to another famous square with neon signs, Times Square in New York.

 

Piccadilly Circus was built in 1819 and today the square is a major transport hub, meeting place and busy tourist attraction. The square connects a number of key streets in the West End district, including Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, The Haymarket Coventry street and Glasshouse Street. Due to its central location in the city, Piccadilly Circus is a great starting point for an afternoon of shopping in London.
