Piccadilly Circus

The square’s actually not terribly exciting, but the Tube station is fun and that area is a great place to get souvenirs. Chinatown isn’t too far away, though, where you can get some fabulous pastries.

but a bit better… If you go to London it is a place to go once a trip, like times square when ever you go to NYC…leaves a touristy taste in my mouth though…

Lovely place to chill.
Too many people, but maybe it gives the idea of how the real London is :)
I loved all the lights around there!!

when I got off the tube and stepped out into picadilly I was automatically in LOVE. done deal… I’d give anything to go back

I think of Piccadilly Circus as being at the heart of London. From here, you’re within walking distance of Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, Oxford Street, The Mall, Hyde Park, Leicester Square, Covent Garden and all those West End theatres.

It’s always heaving with people waiting to meet friends, snapping pictures of Eros and the neon signs. It’s a very busy traffic junction as well! I remember being awed by the neon displays when I was little – they are less impressive now, but still pretty all lit up.

I didn’t find anything too interesting here, but it was good to see the place anyways. :) At least I now know what it’s like.
And I got some pretty nice photos there, of the crowds and the buildings and stuff.

I was mugged here!

My first mugging experience!

Yay European adventure! :D

I went to a salsa club here called Bar Rumba (well I guess it’s a rumba club with that name, but they mostly played salsa and merengue). I danced for ages, and felt like the people here were friendly and tolerant of my inexperience, even though they were great themselves. Great atmosphere!

Do not go here on weekend afternoons unless you like feeling like you will die of stampede at any moment. Topshop was fantastic though!

It’s a London Times Square, but smaller. Go once, but don’t expect much.
