Leicester Square

I had the pleasure of visiting Leicester Square in September 2022, and it was an unforgettable experience. This iconic square is a vibrant and bustling hub in the heart of London, offering a perfect blend of entertainment, culture, and history.The atmosphere in Leicester Square is electric, especially in the evening when the bright lights of theaters, cinemas, and restaurants come to life.The square is surrounded by a variety of restaurants, cafes, and pubs, catering to every taste and budget. Whether you're in the mood for a quick snack or a fine dining experience, Leicester Square has you covered.

It's vibrant, lively, crowded and noisy. Some people will like this, others will hate it. The Christmas market was great to grab something to eat or drink. I liked the architecture around the square.

Nice park to hang out. Location is very busy, especially on the weekend but I also assume that most of the evenings throughout the week. The park has these cute metal sculptures of familiar characters we know and love. Near is M&M store, Lego store, food places, cinemas etc. Also many street artists perform in this area, we saw beatboxing, singing and mimes.

Great touristy area, if that is your thing. The area around it is also great to explore and spend a bit of money in all the little restaurants. Expect to pay a little more, than further afield.Just north of Leicester Square towards Tottenham Court Road Station there is a wonderful digital display of butterflies, free of charge.

A lovely little Christmas Market. Clean, tidy and well set out. Decent choice of food and trinkets. A bit on the pricey side but what you'd expect.

The views are amazing, so as the shops with the likes of, TWG, Lego, M&Ms etc. The queues however, are crazy. takes hours to get into any popular shop and getting from one end to another can take over an hour. it’s just too crowded this time of year.

This is an ideal place to stop and have a bite to eat or relax and take in the sights and sounds. There are plenty of shops and places to eat or drink and on the Saturday I visited, there were some amazing street performers to see. On the seats around the square, there are some interesting works of art….a couple of which, I have attached photo’s of !.I would recommend a visit, if you are in the area, there is plenty to see and it is in easy reach of the tube station and other attractions.

There have Christmas market here, inside very nice decoration in this place. On Week day not too many people, we can enjoy Christmas atmosphere and shopping and also not too long queues for shopping and order food. Enjoy here!!

Recommended for locals and tourists alike. If ever you're in the City of London, this is one area you should visit. There are many shops and restaurants to to choose from. Also the scenery is very captivating and there are usually a large crowd on the weekends. Ensure to pick up a gift for families or friends before departing. There are many streets performers in this square as well, from solo singers to group bands; much entertainment for your enjoyment.
