Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is one of the most famous road junctions in the world and the beating commercial heart of London's West End — a busy public space where five major streets converge in a swirl of traffic, neon advertising screens, and perpetual crowds that have made it the Times Square of London, the place where the city's entertainment district announces itself most emphatically. The circus — from the Latin word for circle — was created in 1819 as part of John Nash's grand replanning of central London, forming a junction between Regent Street and Piccadilly, and quickly became one of the most fashionable addresses in the city, lined with theatres, restaurants, hotels, and shops catering to the wealthy residents of Mayfair and St James's to the west. The iconic illuminated advertising screens on the curved building on the north side — the Monico building and its successors — have been a feature of Piccadilly Circus since the 1890s, when the first electric advertising signs appeared, and the constantly changing billboards have become as associated with London as the red double-decker buses and black taxis that stream through the junction. At the centre of the circus stands the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, known universally as the Eros statue, designed by Alfred Gilbert and erected in 1893 to commemorate the philanthropist Lord Shaftesbury — the winged aluminium figure was one of the first statues to be cast in aluminium and has become one of the most photographed landmarks in London. The surrounding area includes the Criterion Theatre, the Trocadero entertainment complex, and Theatreland stretching along Shaftesbury Avenue to the northeast.
