A Look At Piccadilly Circus, London

Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. It was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction.
The Circus now connects Piccadilly, Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square) and Glasshouse Street. It is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the West End. Its status as a major traffic junction has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Anteros (which is popularly, though mistakenly, believed to be of Eros).
It is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus Underground station, part of the London Underground system. It is similar to New York City's Times Square.

When we went on an educational tour to london, one of my friends persuaded us(20 members) to vist Piccadilly circus, expecting to watch acrobatics. When we reached the destination after long time from trafalgar square we laughed 😂😂😂😂 a lot.

Thank you, I enjoyed this. Some big changes to the advertising boards since I live in London in the '80s. Fascinating.

Awesome architecture, cool Double Deck Buses 🚌. Not of some of the pain schemes of the Taxis. Lovely people, cool community, and nice places, and the best part most not wearing masks. As for Los Angeles, California it's required inside buildings.
Thanks for sharing such a cool place 🙋👍🕍🏤🕍🙋👍

God loves us sinners that he willingly died for us so we can repent for our sins. Come to Christ before time runs out. There’s never a guarantee for tomorrow. We either go to two places when we die heaven or hell but Jesus opened the pathway to heaven for us. God loves you. Repent and come to him before it’s too late.
