Leicester
Square -
If
London has a heart it must be LEICESTER SQUARE, traversed
by 22 million people a year.
The tree-lined square in the centre provides much needed
shade in the summer.
Major
cinemas stand on three sides of the square offering
over 12 films at any one time and cheap restaurants,
night clubs, portrait artists and outdoor
entertainers strive to catch the attention of the
passing public. ,Leicester Square's multiplex
cinemas show all the latest films. Take in an
afternoon matinee. Top London nightclubs such as the
Hippodrome, Equinox and Maximus can be found in the
the area, as well as numerous other venues nearby
ready to show you a good time. Wild at night with
young people ready to drink the place dry and party
till dawn.
In
the center of the the Square is a copy of the
Shakespeare memorial in Westminster Abbey.
Busts of
Sir Isaac Newton, Joshua Reynolds and William Hogarth including a modern statue of Charlie Chaplin
