| A 360 degree panoramic movie of Piccadilly Circus. The 19th century
restaurant at the beginning of the video, The Criterion, has an
opulent gilded gold and mirrored interior. (I peeked.)
| One theatre in this part of town.
| I know I've previous
photographed Trafalgar Square, but I couldn't resist doing it again.
| One side of Trafalgar Square.

|
| St Martin-in-the-Fields church, by Trafalgar Square, has a funky window.
| Restaurants along one of the pedestrian malls by Leicester Square.
They're surprisingly cheap.
| Ditto.
| Leicester Square Gardens. The statue is of Shakespeare.

|
| Part of Gerrard Street, Chinatown's main street. One of Chinatown's gates
is in the distance.
| Another theatre. A movie has become a play.
| Cecil Court has a large number of specialist bookshops.
| Ditto, just taken from farther down the lane to make sure more of the
bookstores' shingles are readable in the full-sized image.

Goodwin Court, built in the 17th century. I wish the gas lamps were lit!
It would be very atmospheric.
I missed this turn at first, not spotting the narrow, dark archway
entrance.
| Rules, established
1798, is London's oldest restaurant. (Yes, I know the building doesn't
look like much.)
| The inside of the restaurant, however, retains many of its original
features (visible if you look carefully through the window, ignoring the
reflection).
