Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. In this context, a circus, from the Latin word meaning "circle", is a round open space at a street junction. Its status as a major traffic junction has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue.
