Piccadilly Circus, well there is not really much to write home about. It is basically a pivotal geographical point of London's West End and not worth visiting specifically for any particular reason.

However, it is often the correct underground stop to get off at as it is within a short walking distance to the likes of Leicester Square, Regent Street, Covent Garden, The Strand, Chinatown, the West End theatre district and London's famous Soho area.

However, I should warn that the old saying "as busy as Picadilly Circus" is accurate and this particularly applies late at night when it is often very crowded and sometimes almost inaccessible getting into and using the underground station. So if you can find a different station to use then this is advisable.

I would also be careful when there and in the surrounding streets to be vidulant at all times as there are many pick pockets around as well as other unsavoury people mingling in with the crowds.

The Eros statue is okay but not particularly big or impressive and the multi=coloured high up lighting adverts (as in the picture above) although slightly iconic won't take your breath away.
