Piccadilly Circus, Road junction in City of Westminster, England.
Multiple roads converge at Piccadilly Circus, creating a central meeting point surrounded by large electronic advertising displays and commercial buildings.
The junction opened in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly, transforming from its original circular design during infrastructure changes in the 1880s.
The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain with its aluminum statue of Anteros stands as a central element among theaters and entertainment venues.
The underground station beneath Piccadilly Circus connects passengers to multiple tube lines while numerous bus routes pass through the junction.
Electric advertisements first appeared at this junction in 1910, initiating a tradition that turned the northern building facades into illuminated commercial displays.
