It's not actually a circus, y'know. ;-)

Still it is full of fun clothing shops, cinemas, and record stores full of some hard-to-find-in-the-US CDs. Don't kid yourself, though, bring all your credit cards, and avoid the area if you didn't come to spend money!

Look elsewhere if you're looking for a good restaurant-- there is ...

I spent a good portion of my trip in Piccadilly Circus and found nothing to be more amazing. With in 10 minutes of arriving in this area you can find food, sweets, and tons of shoping.

When I am in NYC at times square I can find most of the same things, however when I leave time square I feel like I need a long shower because of how grimmy it is. Piccadilly Circus is very clean and well tended to and that makes all the difference.

At first i thought it was a circus, with clowns and animals, i was very confused. When we arrived there I was stunned, there was a giant statue and was amazed by how it was. Shops were set up everywhere and it was all very impressive. A pleasing place to go.

We arrived here just before dark... bought sandwiches and ate them sitting on the steps by the statue there. Interesting at night... lights up like Times Square !! Crest of London is highly recommended for souvenir-shopping for those little gifts to take home to everyone. Not expensive, and a pretty good variety !! Tube stop is right there !!

Great area to walk around, particularly at night, when it's pretty busy and nicely lit up with lights. It's not a cheap place to shop, obviously, but it has good stores and a nice atmosphere in general. Worth your time.

I loved the fact that everything is there! shopping.. food .. entertainments.. everything is just a small walk away! I loved it! I loved it! I loved it! this city never sleeps and fashion is just at tops!

I loved the atmosphere in there. So many people, specially tourists, all admiring the dashing lights and the advertising...

The best part: sitting in the square in front of it at night, just before leaving this beautiful city.

It good to see once, but really just go snap your picture and do something else. It is very hectic and really touristy, see I guess it depends on what you are in to.

I absolutly loved all the hussle and bussle of picadilly circus and the sights are brilliant as is the shopping. the tube station is right in the thick of it all and easy to get to. Caint wait to go back and show my mum.
