Find a famous statue in Leicester Square Gardens Surrounded by trees, Leicester Square Gardens is in the centre of Leicester Square. It was redeveloped in 2012 with fountains added around the William Shakespeare statue plus more seating. The Grade II listed (must be preserved) marble figure stands on a pedestal flanked by dolphins at the centre of a fountain. Jets of water shoot up 2 metres into the air and the fountain is lit at night. Another prized memorial in Leicester Square Gardens is the bronze statue of Charlie Chaplin sculpted by John Doubleday.

Stand in the famous Trafalgar Square On it, you’ll find The National Gallery , The National Portrait Gallery , Nelson’s Column , the famous Lion Sculptures , St Martin’s in the Fields as well as Britain’s smallest police station. Surrounded by historic buildings, everyone has heard of this public square. There are four plinths for statues in the corners of the square. Bronze statues stand on three of them and the Fourth Plinth has a changing display of contemporary artworks. The two fountains are lovely to see and there’s the very tall Nelson’s Column too. Trafalgar Square is closed to traffic on the north side so this wide promenade has lots of street performers – usually including a few ‘floating Yodas’! Lots of annual public events take place here including Chinese New Year and St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

St Martin’s in the Fields

Shop and dine at the Japan Centre In London since 1976, the Japan Centre flagship store has been on Panton Street since 2017.

There’s a miso room, a dedicated tea room where you can try and buy lots of different blends, and a sake room with experts on hand.

The National Gallery is HUGE. If you’re an art lover, you should set aside at least half a day to explore it (I can’t count the number of times I’ve been and I always find something new and exciting).

Rembrandt, Vermeer, Turner, Gainsborough – the breadth and scope of the exhibits is vast. Prepare to be overwhelmed at one of London’s best art galleries.

Listen to the bells on the Swiss Glockenspiel Where M&M’s World now stands was the Swiss Centre until 2008. While most don’t miss the building, there was some sense of loss that the glockenspiel on the outside was gone. A version of it (redesigned and restored) returned on a 10-metre pole in the pedestrianised Swiss Court in 2011. It features 11 moving Swiss figures against a traditional Swiss alpine backdrop. There are 27 bells, 4 Swiss Jacomas representing bell ringers, and 2 clocks at the top of the structure. The bells chime and a five-minute performance takes place five times a day, Monday to Friday, and eight times a day at the weekend. It’s a nice quirky find to see in action.

Swiss Glockenspiel

you can even catch it playing its melody and accompanying figurine show at 12, 5, 6, 7 and 8pm Monday to Friday and also at 2,3 and 4pm at the weekends

Enjoy A night at Leicester Square Theatre This 400-seat theatre is just off Leicester Square.

Hang out with dead people at the Body Worlds Exhibition Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds exhibition has been touring the world since 1995 but it now has a permanent home in Piccadilly Circus. As a museum of the human body, on display are a series of plastinated posed corpses and internal organs. Yep, all of the anatomical specimens in the exhibition are real. This isn’t a small museum as there are seven floors of exhibits, including some animals too. Think of it like Madame Tussauds, except much gorier.

Grab a coffee before a movie at Picturehouse Central This is so much more than a cinema as the ground floor is a rather excellent cafe with top-notch tea and chocolate brownies. And that all-important free wifi too, of course. The mezzanine level is where to stop for lunch or a drink in the evening. Back to the movies, this is a seven-screen arthouse multiplex that shows quality blockbusters and independent, classic, foreign-language, and documentary films . You’ll soon see why many become a member here (and it’s not just to get into the Members Only Bar).

Get snap happy in Piccadilly Circus A circus just means a junction and five busy streets connect at Piccadilly Circus. Considering there’s not that much to do here, Piccadilly Circus still gets around half a million visitors daily. Consider it a colourful backdrop so take a seat at the Eros statue to people watch, or get a photo of the huge iconic video adverts. Do look out for the rare police public call box between Piccadilly and Regent Street. It looks like a miniature Doctor Who TARDIS and dates from about 1935.

Catch a movie at the Prince Charles Cinema Down a side street off Leicester Square, the Prince Charles Cinema is the only independent cinema in central London. Unlike other West End cinemas, the ticket prices are pretty cheap and there’s an annual membership for further reductions. You won’t see the latest releases here but you will find a selection of cult, arthouse, and classic films, as well as all-night movie marathons, on the two screens. And the sing-a-long events are great fun as you learn dance moves and practice your cheers before the show so expect everyone to get up when the songs start. Do note, that the PCC has drinks and popcorn for sale but no hot or smelly food is allowed.

Buy brightly-coloured candy at M&M’s World Why is an American chocolate shop one of the most popular tourist attractions in London? Well, it’s the only M&M’s World in Europe and there are four floors of chocolate! You enter through a 1963 London double-decker bus and get sucked into the photo ops everywhere. Make your blends from a full range of both milk chocolate and peanut M&Ms at the Rainbow Wall of Chocolate. Or try the M&M colour mood analyser to hear your colour announced to all. (You want to be blue as it’s the coolest.) The bright lighting, colours, and loud music make this an ‘in your face’ type of shopping experience but it is hard to deny it’s fun. There’s more merchandise than you thought possible from mugs and clothing to jewellery and towels. The candy isn’t cheap here but this is a place for gift shopping that’s open until midnight Monday to Saturday.

Be a big kid in the LEGO Store With fun on two floors, this is the largest LEGO store in the world. And it’s very ‘London’ from the 6.5m Big Ben (with a working clock that’s illuminated at night) to the life-size LEGO tube carriage where you can sit between a Queen’s Guard and William Shakespeare to pose for pics. There are photo opportunities aplenty here as there’s also a red telephone box, Royal Mail postbox, and the Leicester Square tube roundel (just so you don’t forget where you are). Obviously, they want you to buy while here so the shelves are lined with loads of kits and the Mosaic Maker is a real highlight (if you have deep pockets). You sit in what looks like an ordinary photo booth yet the photo it takes is transformed into your own personalised LEGO kit! You get a box of all the pieces needed plus a printout of your photo to use as build instructions.

Admire the art and the building at Canada House This is the High Commission (diplomatic office) for Canadians in London but any of us can go inside to see the Canada Gallery for free. There are paintings, sculptures, and more showcasing Canadian talent. And there’s usually a temporary special exhibition too. The building is also rather lovely so they offer free tours once a month (book on the website).

Wander the area on this free Harry Potter Tour On this free walking tour, muggle tour guides show you buildings and streets that inspired and appeared in the schoolboy wizard films. You’ll hear about the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 that happened in Leicester Square and go to a very cool sweet shop that sells Dumbledore’s favourite Sherbert Lemons. The 2.5-hour tour runs daily at 11 am and 3.30 pm from Leicester Square at the Swiss Flags Monument between M&M’s World & the Lego Store. (Look for a guide carrying a strawberry umbrella.) While the tour is free, you can reward the guide at the end of the tour. They’d like you to very much.

Eat and shop in Chinatown London’s Chinatown is relatively small compared to the Chinatowns in US cities but it’s still great for food shopping or dining at the many restaurants. Red Chinese lanterns often hang over the side streets and the decorative Chinese gates, at either end of pedestrianised Gerrard Street, make the best photo ops. Whether you want to grab a pork bun from the Golden Gate Cake Shop on Macclesfield Street or pick up a waving Hello Kitty, this is the right place to be.
