As one of London's most iconic destinations, Piccadilly Circus attracts some of the biggest and most fashionable names in retail to the square.

The dazzling neon signs are a dominant feature of night time London, while the famous Statue of Eros fountain is located here.

The area is so packed that it has given rise to the popular English expression 'it's like Piccadilly Circus', used to describe any busy or crowded area, while it is said that if a person stands there long enough they will eventually bump into everyone they know.

The oldest of the eye-catching illuminated signs on show is the one for electronics company Sanyo, which was installed in the late 1980's. However, longest-standing company presence among the signs is Coca-Cola, who have had a sign there since 1955.
