One of the busiest junctions in the city, The Piccadilly Circus is not a circus. It used to be a circle or ring-shaped public area but has become square-shaped over time. It is also known as Times Square of London, is situated in London’s West End and is named after the house of a tailor Roger Biker who became famous for selling piccadils.
The Piccadilly Circus was originally called the Piccadilly House. Piccadilly House was the residence of Roger Biker, who used to make Piccadils, which are stiff-neck frilled collars worn by the gentrified in the 17th century. Named after the house of a tailor Roger Biker who became famous for selling piccadils. With Leicester Square, Regent Street, Haymarket, Shaftesbury Avenue, and Oxford Circle all being connected to this place, it makes for a great tourist attraction.
