Piccadilly Circus

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.

I was bored to tears.

I was 15ys old staying with relatives in London for the summer…

It’s just London’s version of time square, nothing special.
Weird people are around there at night too, so I wouldn’t recommend going there alone or in a group of two a night.
Group of 3 or 4 minimum.
