Holiday apartments near Piccadilly Circus, London

Piccadilly Circus is London's equivalent of Times' Square, famous for its colourful neon adverts and the statue of Eros - it's the setting for many marriage proposals. It connects the theatre district on Shaftesbury Avenue with the traditional upper-class haunts of Regent Street and Piccadilly. Piccadilly itself isn't as glorious as it was in its pre-War heyday, but Fortnum & Mason and The Ritz Hotel are still premium destinations for opulent pampering. Regent Street is one of London's most elegant shopping streets, home to Liberty's - an absolute treasure trove. The West End starts here with two of London's most famous theatres on Piccadilly Circus (the Pavilion and the Criterion). Tickets for matinees can often be picked up on the day, but it's advised to book ahead for evening shows.

Getting to Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus has its own tube station, opposite the Criterion Theatre. On foot you can easily walk here from the heart of Soho, Leicester Square and from Oxford Circus to the north-west, or taking in window shopping along Regent Street. Many of the bus routes passing through the West End stop at Piccadilly Circus, including the "hop on, hop off" tour buses.
