Busy streets, confused tourists and dodgy ticket touts sum up many people’s view of Leicester Square. Admittedly, its not an example of London at its elegant best, but then again it doesn’t try to be. The capital’s heart of entertainment lives up to its name with an amass of venues. Cinemas claim to have the biggest screens and host Hollywood premiers. At the weekend the area is packed with revellers looking to sample its buzzing nightlife. Nearby Shaftesbury Avenue is home to Apollo and Queen’s Theatres. Shops are small, independent types - but be warned, here this means souvenirs of the Union Jack t shirt variety. Around the main square, Garfunkels and Chiquito are as close as you’re going to get to exotic eating but head further up towards Piccadilly and you’ll hit China Town- streets of Cantonese restaurants. Lively and hectic, nowhere does it better than here.
