13: Leicester Square looking from Haymarket

Just as the bus leaves Piccadilly Circus and swings right into Haymarket, look down the one-way street by Aberdeen Steak Houses and in the distance (the trees) is Leicester Square. Well known for hosting the major film premieres, there are cinemas on three sides of the square, the largest of which is the black, marble-fronted Odeon with seating for nearly 2000 people. Friday and Saturday evenings see big crowds gather in Leicester Square for the start of a night out.
