'Piccadilly Circus not such a circus' - A year of London




Deserted Circus

Early Christmas morning leaves the usually packed Piccadilly Circus strangely deserted. 

Piccadilly Circus is a road junction 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. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction.
