Leicester Square Hotels
The centre of London’s “Cinema Land,” Leicester Square is a pedestrianised square in the West End of the capital. Numerous blockbusters have had their UK premieres there (most notably the James Bond movies), with hundreds of fans gathering to see the stars in person. The square lies within the City of Westminster and is a roughly equal distance north of Trafalgar Square, east of Piccadilly Circus, west of Covent Garden, and south of Cambridge Circus.
In the middle of Leicester Square is a small park, featuring statues of great British artists, scientists and entertainers, including William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton and Charlie Chaplin. The Square is also the home for tkts, formerly known as the Official London Half-Price Theatre Ticket Booth. Tickets for theatre performances taking place around the West End that day are sold from the booth for about half the usual price.
