Mayfair Greater London hotels:

Piccadilly Circus could be called London's hub as five major roads converge here - and most of the theatres are within a few hundred yards of it. It is the centre-point of the West End of London, and Piccadilly Circus features prominently on any tourist guide of England's capital. It should be noted that 'circus' in this case has nothing to do with animals and shows. What you'll find at Piccadilly Circus is a traffic intersection, albeit one surrounded by colourful, flashing neon advertising signs and featuring the statue of Eros, the Greek god of sexual love, sculpted by the Victorian sculptor R.A.Gilbert. Technologically ground-breaking at the time, this statue was the first in the world to be cast in aluminium. Piccadilly Circus is near everything you would want to be near in London as a tourist. Attractions within walking distance include Leicester Square, Soho, Chinatown,Shaftesbury Avenue, West End Theatres, Oxford Street and Regent Street shopping, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, The River Thames, Trafalgar Square.
