Piccadilly Circus is London England's equivalent to Time Square in New
York City. The term "circus" refers to the circular junction of
intersecting streets. Piccadilly Circus is ablaze with lights in the
evening and has a lovely fountain of Eros in its centre called the
Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain.
The Plaza was established in 1819 to connect two of London's largest
arteries: Regent Street and Piccadilly Street. Today, it is one of the
busiest intersections in the city.
