 | The
area of Piccadilly has been built in 1819 in the
junction of Piccadilly, Regent Street, Shatfesbury Avenue
and Haymarket. |
| In
the 17th century, Piccadilly was an area of fashion
and there were lots of buildings in the stucco style. |
| Today,
Piccadilly offers a contrast among big shopping centres,
cinemas and historic buildings. |
| Located in
the south of Piccadilly, St James's Palace was built
in the 1530's for Henry VIII and made Piccadilly a smart and elegant area, also
very suggestive. |
| The
visitors come in the centre of Piccadilly to admire the statue
of Eros that was erected in 1892. Eros has become one of the most famous
landmarks in London. Actually, this is a statue of
the angel of Charity and a fountain erected in the
memory of the Victorian philantropist The Earl of Shaftesbury. |
| From now on,
the huge neon advertising hoardings, famous fashion
shops keep on attracting the crowds. Moreover, Piccadilly and the surroundings
are the focus of London night life. |
