London/Leicester Square

From Imakoopedia

Leicester Square is an area of central London

In the middle of the square is a pleasant garden, where one can go to relax after a hard day, and watch the craziness going on all around, such as drunks, buskers, street entertainers and preachers.

Leicester Square has many cinemas: the cheapest one is the Prince Charles Cinema (http://www.princecharleserver1.com/), not actually on the square but down a side street to the north at 7 Leicester Place (just up from theHäagen-Dazs). They don't screen the latest films but usually have an interesting selection, including foreign and arthouse films and often have theme nights. (Apparently Quentin Tarantino is a fan of this cinema, as he mentioned it in an interview recently).

Leicester Square is served by a tube station on both the Northern and the Piccadilly Lines and acts as a convenient place to start any exploration of London's West End.
