Leicester Square

Considered by some as the heart of London's West End, Leicester Square is also known as Theatreland. Here, you can pick up a last-minute bargain to a West End show and the theatres are pocketed around the square and beyond into nearby Soho. To other Londoners and tourists, Leicester Square is known as the home of British cinema, with five cinemas on the square alone and another three nearby. UK premieres are held here and like Hollywood handprints, Leicester Square has its own Walk of Fame with plaques of Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep among many others. At night, Leicester Square really comes alive as theatre-goers come out of shows, the restaurants and bars become packed and the nightclubs open. Over two weekends in the summer, stars of London's musical theatre come out to Leicester Square for West End Live and perform songs from the shows. Meanwhile, a short walk south is Trafalgar Square, home to the Four Plinths and the National Gallery.
