If taking a seat and watching the world pass by is your thing, then surely there is no finer location than Leicester Square in the heart of Theatreland. The square on average has 250,000 people pass through it on a daily basis. It is a hive of activity, full of hustle and bustle as it is a central point between Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. Within the square itself are a large number of cinemas, Restaurants, Tourist Shops and the ever popular ticket offices offering the chance to see one of the many theatre performances taking place in the area.The recently renovated gardens in the centre of the square has resulted in the seating capacity around the edge being dramatically increased. This was a much needed requirement which allows you the chance to take in the atmosphere of the place, as people of so many nationalities wander past having an enjoyable evening. Inside the gardens child friendly water jet fountains have been introduced, a fun place to be on a hot summer day.
One of the best free activities that Leicester Square offers are the numerous film premieres that take place there. A chance to see the stars walk down the red carpet, creating a great photo opportunity and the chance of an autograph or two. Possibly the best chance you will have of ever getting up close to the likes of Johnny Depp, Tom Crusie and Leonardo Di Caprio or even Vanessa Feltz. The crowds do get heavy and some fans resort to standing there from early morning to ensure a prime position.There are also a number of nightclubs and casinos in the location, this together with the volume of people just mingling around leaves the place buzzing till the early hours of the morning.
