The most high tech digital screen in Europe. This 24/7 round the clock nonstop billboard was turned off and went dark only few sad occasions since its installation in 1908. WW2, Winston Churchill and Princess Diana's funerals and for the recent upgrade when it was replaced with a single high resolution screen greater than 4K. It has evolved from simple light bulbs to neon lights, digital projectors, LED and now its not only weather sensitive but capable of showing live streams in real time. And for big brother purposes, in future it might also show vehicle recognition technology, moving traffic with your ugly mug inside.

I love this bustling centre of London. A great place to sit and watch the tourists, sights and sounds and many of London's iconic red buses plus an easy walk to many of London's greatest theatres. A quick but must do walk through on any tour of London.

Piccadilly lights is a beautiful landmark which is bright colourful and nice to see. The closest underground station is Piccadilly Circus with a number of bus routes which stop close by. A nice sight especially at night when it's bright and lit up.

The famous billboard of one of the most famous squares in London. Worth a stop!

Great place buzzing with people. Visit on a Friday evening for a great vibe; people partying and having fun. Lots to do and enjoy here. Great restaurants around. And of course the views are amazing.

If London had a spot like Times Square, Piccadilly Circus would probably be it! But despite being such a large square, it nonetheless feels claustrophobic without any hint of vastness of a global city plaza possibly because it's not fully pedestrianized.

Lots of street dancers and musicians. A real good vibe in the summertime ☀️☀️🎶🎷 Lots of big shops nearby with Regent Street finishing at Piccadilly Circus and also a short walk from here in Soho or Leicester Square. It is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus Underground station, part of the London Underground system. It is similar to New York City's Times Square. But one sadder point to take note of is that there are many pickpockets here because it is so crowded. Be careful with your belongings -keep them safe! (backpack/handbags keep close to you) and you'll have a great time here.

Must visit this place. You can find beautiful lights on occasions. You can find pubs, parties and many more.

Its not times square but still nice. Can recommend to visit if you there. Lot of people

A visit during the day will not leave as strong an impression on you as at night, but it is definitely worth stopping by this iconic square.

I may well be in a class of my own but I find the Piccadilly lights lack imagination & taste for such an iconic location. Its just like looking at a large iphone. Flat, sterile, globalised ads and images. You could be in any capital city in any country. The former neon signs were warmer and gave off an authentic West End mood which is now sadly absent.

Piccadilly Circus reminded us of Times Square in New York. The neon signs are particularly effective in the dark. In the middle of Piccadilly Circus is the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain. At its top there is a figure of a naked winged archer. Therefore the fountain is also known as the Eros Fountain. The figure is not intended to represent Eros, but rather the angel of Christian charity. There are many shops on Piccadilly such as Burberry, H&M, GAP, Levi's, Hollister, Apple, KIKO Milano, Nike, Zara and many more. The former music hall "London Pavilion" is the most striking building. The old building stands out particularly well amidst the modern neon billboards. The name “Piccadilly Circus” has nothing to do with clowns and artists. In architectural terms, circus means a round, public area located at a street intersection.

Love this square, always busy!

Great square with a lot of activities

A must visit place in London. Somewhere to hand around and enjoy the Lights ot just watch people come and go. A mixture of visitors and workers in the many companies located around this area. Good old cupid is THE place to arrange to meet your friends before a stroll down Regent's Street.

Spent a couple of hours sitting at the base of a statue listening to a street performer and people watch. A great place to take fotos and take a break.

Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. It was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction.Piccadilly now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square) and Glasshouse Street. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the West End. Its status as a major traffic junction has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue, which is popularly, though mistakenly, believed to be of Eros. It is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Directly underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus Underground station, part of the London Underground system.

(Translated by Google) A place everyone knows from the cinema, just great. This is London, a must for every visitor to London. Directly at the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and Criterion Theater a very nice place that leaves a lasting impression. (Original) Ein Ort den jeder aus dem Kino kennt, einfach klasse. Das ist London, ein muss für jeden London Besucher. Direkt am Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain und Criterion Theatre ein sehr schöner Platz, der einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlässt.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place in one of London's most central spots. The evening looks even more beautiful with the lights from the shops and the big screens. One can start there by going down Leicester Square and then passing Chinatown and Soho. Several Street artists add a beautiful note. (Original) Πολυ όμορφο μέρος σε ένα απο τα πιο κεντρικά σημεία του Λονδίνου. Το βράδυ δείχνει ακόμα πιο ωραίο με τα φώτα απο τα καταστήματα και τις μεγάλες οθόνες. Μπορεί κάποιος να ξεκινήσει από εκεί τη βόλτα του κατηφορίζοντας προς Leicester Square και στη συνέχεια περνώντας από Chinatown και Soho. Αρκετοί Street artist προστεθούν μια όμορφη νότα.

Great place to visit

Very nice, Ramadan lights are the first time in London

Creative moments that made history

Fun fact: This place was inspired by a call of duty: modern warfare map!

Despite the weed smell, nice place to chill out

Popular and busy place! Very crowded but stressful and very busy. That describes the place quite well. If you want to take beautiful pictures, you should just go there as early as possible and enjoy the place. Apart from a few Londoners who go to work, drive or clean the place, there are fewer or no tourists here. It's always amazing how London has changed in 6 years. I still know the billboard as normal posters 😅

Beautiful lights but boy it was crazy busy lots of drunk people

1992 Piccadilly Circus connects to Piccadilly, a thoroughfare whose name first appeared in 1626 as Piccadilly Hall, named after a house belonging to one Robert Baker, a tailor famous for selling piccadills, or piccadillies, a term used for various kinds of collars. The street was known as Portugal Street in 1692 in honour of Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort of King Charles II but was known as Piccadilly by 1743. Piccadilly Circus was created in 1819, at the junction with Regent Street, which was then being built under the planning of John Nash on the site of a house and garden belonging to a Lady Hutton; the intersection was then known as Regent Circus South (just as Oxford Circus was known as Regent Circus North) and it did not begin to be known as Piccadilly Circus until the mid 1880s, with the rebuilding of the Regent Street Quadrant and the construction of Shaftesbury Avenue. In the same period the circus lost its circular form.

Nice squre that is famous for being in many movies and shows. The main attraction is the big billboard, but the idea for a good time should come from the Street artists that will probably be around the square. On the surroundings you also have some good restaurants and a lot of shopping to do (if you enjoy it, of course). It can be nice to check it out if you have some time, and also because you have other cool/ touristic spots near, such as chinatown and Buckingham.

It looks very bright in the evening

Piccadilly Circus, with its famous Piccadilly Light, is a true jewel of London! The constant bustle, iconic neon signs and electrifying atmosphere make it a must-visit place. Whether admiring the sparkling neon lights, shopping in the surrounding boutiques or simply soaking up the energy of this iconic square, Piccadilly Circus is sure to enchant you. However, it should be noted that despite its popularity, this place can sometimes be frequented by pickpockets, so it is important to remain vigilant and take safety precautions during your visit. But don't let that discourage you: Piccadilly Circus remains an unforgettable experience to discover in London!

A place full of life with good atmosphere.

A must visit place right in the center of London. It's even more beautiful at night as you can see the lights from the street and the billboard. But as this place is too touristy, it was too crowded and a lot of rubbish everywhere

Iconic billboard in the center of London. But in these days, honestly I've ever seen much bigger ones and 3D ones in many other countries. I know it was brilliant in the past, but it was still 2D ads in 2022. I felt its retrospective. Anyway I stayed around there and had a wonderful time with my girlfriend. It was memorable place for us.

Perfect place

Worst map ever smh

If you visit London, then you should go through Piccadilly circus and see the Piccadilly lights. It has a nice vibe during the evening 😁 be sure to come by public transport!

Lovely

Enemy at the buses!

Very times-Square look

As a tourist. I did not expect THIS to he the centre of London. This is it. People are everywhere. Can be pretty wild bit loved every moment

It is really amazing to see this country show’s respect to everyone choices in terms of religion, gender, culture and so on. Thank you for making us to feel welcomed.

Beautiful and iconic place

Emblematic

(Translated by Google) The perennial lights of the Piccadilly Circus billboards are now an indispensable London landmark. They attract swarms of tourists dazzled by those bright screens, which have risen to world fame thanks to appearances in films and documentaries. Even the undersigned has suffered and suffers the charm of the square and the screens, especially as a "lighthouse" and a meeting place for young and old alike, attracted by the glare of those lights. (Original) Le luci perenni dei cartelloni pubblicitari di Piccadilly Circus sono ormai un irrinunciabile punto di riferimento di Londra. Esse attirano sciami di turisti abbagliati da quegli schermi luminosi, assurti a fama mondiale grazie alle comparsate in film e documentari. Anche il sottoscritto ha subito e subisce il fascino della piazza e degli schermi, soprattutto in quanto "faro" e ritrovo di giovani e meno giovani, richiamati proprio dallo sfolgorio di quelle luci.

Lots of people. Lots to see. There are a lot of people who want my money.

Fantastic place!

We can see the biggest advertisment screen in the UK

London trip is incomplete without viewing this place. When you plan your trip to London, make sure to keep at least 30 minutes for this place as it is as famous as NY's Times Square. It is a very crowded place so keep yourself alert all the time. Lots of attractions on walking distance from here so if you are using London underground then take off at piccadilly station to start your London trip. It is also very accessible by buses fron many parts of the city

A great place to sit and watch the street shows put on by various artists. The architecture around it is also something that makes this place worth seeing.

Love it here! Such a great vibrant atmosphere and lots to look at.

This is the famous Bright lights of London

Is so nice

(Translated by Google) great thing, you have to see it (Original) super Sache, muss man gesehen haben

(Translated by Google) A place known just from commercials, they may not make such an impression today, but it is a piece of history! The first boards are the nineteenth century! Coke, Schweppes and Guinness are just some of them. The first mobile or neon ads were something! (Original) Miejsce znane właśnie z reklam, może dzisiaj nie robią już takiego wrażenia jak kiedyś, ale to kawał historii! Pierwsze tablice to wiek XIX!

Iconic place, but not as impressive as one would expect considering the surrounding areas.
