Reviews for Piccadilly Circus

Ok, well Piccadilly Circus is in the center of London and is quite an iconic sight.
To all those that live in London it is nothing special but it is a must for tourists.
It located just down the road from Leicester Square and Covent garden as well as a short walk to Soho etc.
I guess Piccadilly circus is just one of those places to have your picture taken in. I certainly have and i live in London. Although with this in mind it can obviously get very busy with people.
It has the famous giant light adverts, the Shaftsbury memorial fountain with a statue of Eros as well as the London Pavilion.
If your a tourist, its a must sea sight and not too far from other attractions so well worth a look, and perhaps a photo or two!
