Local Attractions:
The Hotel, located off Regent Street, Piccadilly
Circus, central London provides the perfect hotel location for a
vacation or business trip to London England. The hotel is opposite the
statue of Eros, in Piccadilly Circus near Shaftesbury Avenue, Leicester
Square and Oxford Street.
The area directly around Piccadilly, with Piccadilly Circus at its
centre, is commonly considered to be the centre of London. Indeed, in
its heyday in the 17th century this area was one of the most fashionable
and exclusive parts of the city. As the constant crowds testify, it is
as popular today as it was then.
Piccadilly Circus was formed in 1819 by the intersection of Piccadilly,
Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and the Haymarket. The unusual name
comes from the word "pickadill" which was a type of stiff collar,
fashionable in the 17th century.
At its heart is its most famous landmark – known as the statue of Eros.
However, it is neither a statue, nor the figure of Eros! It is actually
a memorial fountain commemorating the Victorian philanthropist the Earl
of Shaftesbury, and the figure is not the Greek God of Love, but the
Christian angel of Charity. Eros has become one of the most famous
landmarks in London so expect the area to be busy (and bring your
camera!).
Wandering along Piccadilly today you will find yourself amongst some
very famous shops, such as Hatchards and Fortnum and Mason, as well as
some of London’s most glamorous hotels. However, the heavy levels of
traffic makes shopping in the various arcades that lead off from
Piccadilly nicer. The Burlington Arcade is particularly worth visiting.
The other main tourist attractions that draw the crowds to the area are
the Rock Circus – a rock music museum where you listen to recorded
simulations and see wax reproductions of rock stars – and the Trocadero
– a haven for video game and cinema lovers.
Nearby are Leicester Square, Soho (home to Chinatown) and the shops of
Oxford Street and Regent Street.
