Piccadilly Circus

Wikipedia.com:
Piccadilly Circus is a famous traffic intersection and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. Built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly (the "circus" refers to "circular open space at a street junction"), it now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square) and Glasshouse Street. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in a central location at the heart of the West End. Its status as a major traffic intersection has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting point and a tourist attraction in its own right.

The Circus is particularly know for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue known as 'Eros' (sometimes called 'The Angel of Christian Charity', which would be better translated as 'Agape', but formally 'Anteros' - see below). It is surrounded by several noted buildings, including the London Pavilion and Criterion Theatre. Directly underneath the plaza is the London Underground station Piccadilly Circus.

Hi Janek, I visited here in 1999 and my photos weren't too exciting, so it is good to see this place again. I like how you have the Underground sign in the pic and how we look through the fence too. It is such a busy place.

beautiful photo! bringing out general truth that anyone that has visited london can unerstand, and your personal experience behind that style of yours that has selected the big picture decorated with a peaking underground sign, colorful... well done!

Nice shot - I like the composition, colours, and mood of this shot. I did a workshop just for the fun of it.. to see what it would look like putting it in B&W and just showing the colours of the advertisements.

Hi,
Strange composition, the metro sign is disturbing and it cuts the building and the sign is cut also.
Sylvie

Very nice. Wonderful colors!

Hello Janek,
Perfect sharpness, clarity, superb colour and much details on this photo!
Used to hang around in Piccadilly everytime visited London, missed this place

i seen many of this great london shot, but this is amazingly well shot, the angle is refreshing, field of depth is great with the underground sign forefront, the lighting is right too as i can see that is after rain if i m right.london always rain.
