★★★★★7 months agoPiccadilly Circus is a lively and iconic area in the heart of London. The bright digital screens and constant movement give it a vibrant atmosphere, especially at night. It’s surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafés, making it a great place to walk around and experience the city’s energy. Very busy, but worth visiting at least once.
