And more specifically, it is called Piccadilly Circus, which means that it is 
a circular path/road where several roads come together and then branch out 
again. If you have never been there, you'd not think much of it.  When I was 
last there in 1990 and 1991 (on 4 different occasions), it was the place where 
everything converged in London.  The 'tube' (unground subway) stops near 
there, and brings everyone from outlying areas into the city.  The area is 
probably comparable to the same thing as Time Square in NYC, in terms of 
entertainment, food and what not.

There were many street muscians and other acts hanging around there too.  I 
think Piccadilly is a great name!
