Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space in the West End of London, at the intersection of Piccadilly, Regent Street, and several other major roads. It was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly and has since become one of the most famous and recognisable locations in the world. The circus is known for its large digital advertising screens and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain topped by the winged statue commonly known as Eros. It is surrounded by theatres, restaurants, and entertainment venues and is a major hub of London's tourist and nightlife districts.
