Piccadilly Circus, the luminous heart of London, paints the city's vivacity on a grand canvas. Neon signs and bustling crowds create an electric symphony. Amid the dazzling chaos, I find myself immersed in the soul of London's pulsating spirit. The iconic Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, crowned by Eros, stands as a silent witness to the passing eras.

#londontrip Actually the name of this square is the most fitting name as it is loud, crowded, full of energy and colorful though it is not actually a circus. There are no animals nor clowns here to entertain you. It is just a junction but you see so many tourists flock here for photos, basically it's like Time Square in the US. This area has a lot of to offer to tourists; restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theaters, pubs, shopping, accommodations and night life are just round the corners. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around and seeing a lot more tourist spots within the area.

I have been to London for several days #London, and I am recording this. I walked around London and wanted to find the filming locations of the Sherlock Holmes movie. I didn’t look for them specifically, but I took some photos when I found them. I stayed in London for a week this time and had a good time touring London. I picked out a few photos to record. Borough Market is one of the check-in spots. It has all kinds of food. The most attractive one is the mushroom paella. There are so many people inside. It seems that everyone is attracted by the food hahahaha. That radio is an exhibit at the Tate Gallery, an exhibit of various radios piled up together. There are many exhibitions in the London Museum and Art Gallery, and they are free, which is really good for people who love museums. In addition to the Tower Bridge, other bridges in London also have their own characteristics. The Morandi color scheme is very suitable for taking pictures 📷. Piccadilly Circus at night is the scene where the theme song of Sherlock Holmes appears. London has a quaint atmosphere, such as the retro buildings at the Cathedral Station, while the Isle of Dogs has tall buildings and a modern atmosphere. #Overseas Travel

Transportation Tips - The metro station is Piccadilly Circus Local attraction - Circle Avenue, with many lights at night Food & Restaurants - Bella Italia (Irving Street) When you come to London, you can find the British landmark Piccadilly Circus that was photographed by "See the Earth Instantly"🤩 It's another look after nightfall! Because the buildings on both sides of the avenue light up soft lights, making the ancient and elegant buildings more beautiful 🥰❤️ Cars and cars on the streets, the iconic London bus shuttle back and forth, very taste 😍 This street is mainly full of international brands, Even Uniqlo can be found 😅 The inner street is even more exciting, with colorful light bulbs hanging in the Soho area, which is super atmospheric💡💡💡💜❤️🧡💛💚💙🤎 Tired of walking, I entered Bella Italia, a British chain-style Italian restaurant nearby. Pizza must be indispensable, although it is ordinary mushroom bacon pizza, but crispy, not too salty and too heavy flavor! And both pastas are very moderately tough and taste great! The whole meal was super satisfied ❤️ But maybe because it was a Friday night to eat, the whole restaurant was full, the waiters were super busy🥴 #piccadillycircus #uktravel #London #piccadillycircle

#UKTrip #PiccadillyCircus #LondonBus #CoupleTrip #LondonTrip In the summer of 2019, when I went to Piccadilly Circus in London, I discovered the Union Jack pattern on the famous double-decker London bus. So cute...I often rode double-decker buses in Hong Kong, but there were only advertisements on the body of the double-decker bus in Hong Kong. I thought Piccadilly Circus was just a spot near the subway exit, but the buildings beyond the bronze statue near the exit were surprisingly wide, so you couldn't see ahead. There were a series of curved stone buildings, and it took a long time to walk around the area, and I was nervous that I would get lost. Most of the first floors of the buildings were high-end brand shops and restaurants, and the shopping was good but the food was surprisingly expensive, so I decided to eat fish and chips near the station later and only did a little shopping. As I was walking around, I saw an iron gate with a magnificent coat of arms, so I took a picture. The buildings were very impressive, and I wondered where I was and what it was, as I continued my walk. There was a monument with a golden statue on top, but unfortunately, I had left my London guidebook at the hotel that day, so even while sightseeing I couldn't figure out what was going on, which was really disappointing. English is spoken so it's okay if you get lost, but if you don't have any information about tourist spots you'll really miss out, so more than anything, make sure you don't forget your guidebook and keep it in your bag.

Piccadilly Circus is this road junction shown in the cover picture, and it has this massive billboard and lots of neon signs all around. It’s a super busy street filled with many stores and eateries which can’t be missed. This place is also situated near Regent Street, Leicester Square, Soho, and Chinatown. To get here, just take the tube to Piccadilly Circus station and exit and you will see this view! #london

#meetlondon Have you ever been to London? If you ever go to London i recommend you to go to check out Picadilly Circus. This is one of the busy hotspots in London. Often you can see artistic shows in the middle of the street or people taking pictures of the street signs. Furthermore the billboards and screens are really eyecatching. Furthermore there are many famous shops in that neighborhood. It is very easy to get there by car bus or even subway which is very efficient in London. I recommend you to get on the famous red double decker bus and sit in the top in the fron so you can enjoy this amazing neighborhood #tripblazers

#ldninsider We love coming to Piccadilly Circus. It's a place where we always come whenever we come to London. The reason we like to come is because it's very lively. You can almost always see street performances here. Also with the big led screen on the background, it creates a spectacular photo. It's also very near to a number of places of interest like Ripley's Believe it or not!, Trafalgar Square etc. We took quite a number of photos and certainly enjoyed our time there. Piccadilly Circus was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. It's easily accessible by the Tube. Piccadilly Circus is the nearest station.

#ldninsider A few years ago, when we were having our vacation in London, we were walking around Piccadilly Circus when we came across Ripley's Believe It Or Not! As we know, Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Is full of interesting stuff to see and there were quite a number of branches in the world. Thus, we paid our tickets and off we went. The exhibitions are spread over 7 storeys. Thus, we easily spent a few hours over there. We learnt quite a number of interesting stuff. There were also many artistic and creative features to see. We certainly enjoyed ourselves. Address: The London Pavillion, 1 Piccadilly Circus, London W1J 0DA, United Kingdom (See map)
