Known throughout the world as the beating heart of London’s West End, the square and surrounding area welcomes over 2.5 million visitors each week.

Some of the largest children’s stores on the planet make for unforgettable family days-out. Combine all this with the glitz and glamour of the greatest casinos, clubs, hotels and restaurants.

Leicester Square in London’s West End is not just the place for red-carpet film premieres. It’s a public square with daytime shopping and dining plus evening theatres, clubs and nightlife. The area also covers London’s Chinatown and Trafalgar Square so there’s something for everyone.

Leicester Square is the home to London's largest cinemas. Going to see a film on one of the largest screens at the Odeon or Empire Leicester Square is quite an experience.

Chinatown is a must for dessert. I recommend Cuppacha and Xing Fu Tang for Bubbletea, Mama Sons for icecream and Tsujiri for all things matcha! Wingstop, Shakeshack and PF Changs are also great for dinner or lunch. It can get quite busy, but if you don’t find a seat, I’d recommend taking your food and eating it in the square where there are usually live performances!
