Picadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London’s West End. The name ‘Piccadilly’ originates from a seventeenth-century frilled collar named piccadil. Roger Baker, a tailor who became rich making piccadils lived in the area. The word ‘Circus’ refers to the roundabout around which the traffic circulated. Piccadilly Circus is now partly pedestrianized and a favorite place for people to congregate before going to the nearby shopping and entertainment areas. It’s also considered to be London’s Times Square (although on a much smaller scale) with the large vibrant neon billboards and street performers. We spent a bit of time there taking it all in and really enjoyed the atmosphere and people watching.
