Oxford Circus & Piccadilly Circus – Among the most iconic of all Londons sites and visited by millions of tourists every year. Piccadilly Circus is not a very clean place, and it is very crowded, but it is an area where people often meet one another because it is the middle part of Londons West End. Oxford circus is the best entry point to Oxford Street, which is Londons main shopping district.
Soho & Leicester Square – Action abounds here as there is a fabulous restaurant, bar and pub scene in colorful Soho and frequent UK movie premieres in Leicester Square which is conveniently situated right next door.
