Piccadilly Circus is London's bright-lights junction, famous for its curved bank of illuminated advertising screens and the winged Anteros statue often called Eros. It is a classic photo stop and gateway to the West End theatres, Soho and Regent Street. Beyond the lights and the crowds there is not much to do here, so treat it as a quick landmark.
