The skies of Piccadilly come alive at night with thousands of neon bulbs in the massive neon signs advertising everything from Coke to Samson luggage. It is, of course, often compared to Times Square in New York City. You will find that many of Britain’s top designers have shops here. There is also a plethora of restaurants of every variety here: Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock, and Rainforest Café all have braches here. Madam Tusseud’s house, the Rock Circus, features wax figures of some of rock-and-rolls best. You are within walking distance of the famed West End, which is home to Broadway. This is also much like New York. Many of the restaurants feature theater menus for patrons of the arts looking to nosh before or after one of the many fantastic shows. And just like Time Square, it was once pretty seedy and not a place you would want to visit. Today, it is a must-stop on every visit to London.
Try to come here during the day, as well as a visit at night. During the day, you can admire the many beautiful statues surrounding the plaza. The historical part of the area is more apparent during the day. At night, the lights come on and all of London comes out for the show. You will see people of every walk of life here, so it makes for some great people-watching. This is where you will find a large concentration of clubs if that is your thing. Just walking around this place is an experience - and a free one at that. It is one of the few things London has to offer for free. No matter what your pleasure is, make sure to check out Piccadilly Circus. Make sure to bring your camera, too. You never know what you will see here! The Tube stops at Piccadilly Circus and Charring Cross will get you here.
