Why stay near Leicester Square

Leicester Square sits at the heart of London’s West End, a short walk from Soho, Chinatown, Covent Garden, and Trafalgar Square. It’s a pedestrianised public square known less for landmarks and more for what happens here: movie premieres, big cinemas, and same‑day theatre tickets. This is where London’s largest film premieres play out, with red carpets regularly appearing outside ODEON Leicester Square. The square itself is free to enter and works mainly as a meeting point and launchpad for evenings out, rather than a place you linger for hours. If you’re coming for theatre, cinema, or to stay central, this is one of London’s most practical bases.
