There is a really great energy in the air at Piccadilly Circus. Perhaps it's the hustle-and-bustle of everyone seeing to be seen or the electricity from the garish billboards (which make a great juxtaposition with the Victorian buildings); whatever it is, it makes for one of the top spots in the world to just observe human behaviour. more

I was expecting Times Square but Pic Circus was smaller than I thought. But it's still a great visit. I specifically go here just to shoot the red bus moving with all the lights on the background. more

I live in a rural part of Ireland and to visit Picadilly Circus at midnight on a monday night in October, was a site to be seen. Shops all open to 12am - in Ireland, shops are more likely to open at 12pm - 6pm... The crowds of people around that time were unreal - there was a queue to... more

We did some shopping in the area but there's nothing else to see. Not a destination by itself,... more

Piccadilly is a junction of 5 (I think) streets. Attached is a photo of the square, and the famous view of the street. There are several great shopping streets just off the Circus. Spend a very enjoyable day exploring the area. The area is worth a trip, but the circle is just that a big traffic circle. more

I was a little surprised to see Piccadilly as an "attraction". The Circus is the junction of 5 streets, something you will probably see if you are in London since many hotels and attractions are close by. However, it's not something to necessarily go out of your way to see. It reminds me of Times Square- alot of neon, fast... more
