This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit London, The Royal Tour
Like Trafalgar Square, this pretty square is one of the liveliest in the city. Known as a hot spot for entertainment, it is a popular place for restaurants, bars, and even casinos. What really sets it apart are the cinemas – Leicester Square is famous for hosting tons of movie premieres. In fact, you’ll find London’s biggest cinema right here, with room for nearly 1,700 movie buffs. Let’s not forget about the small park in the middle of it all, with its lush green lawns drawing in Londoners and visitors alike for a relaxing break right in the heart of the city. As for decorations, what could be more fitting than statues of Charlie Chaplin and William Shakespeare to honor a square where entertainment reigns supreme?
