A famous spot of London that is always full of both tourists and locals. Full of great cafes and shops (where you can get shawarma or indian at reaonsable prices), you'll pass through here en route to the theaters. Come back at night to catch a show and marvel at the lights.

Went during Easter weekend, everything was shut down beyond the coffee shops, a few restaurants, and the casino. Seemed like a very cool place though to go and have a day of eating, shopping, and rather near by Buckingham Palace.

This is a famous iconic London spot and is busy and very interesting to look around. What hits you is all the advertisments in lights especially at night.

Great place to get to Covent Garden, Soho, to Regent Street to many places of London interest. Always busy with transports & people bustling to get to their destinations. Trocadero nearby.
