Leicester Square

Leicester Square is the home of UK cinema hosting more than fifty film premieres every year and is the heart of London’s West End. Up to 35 million people pass through the square every year and it has more than 25 restaurants, 15 bars and 7 cinemas. It also houses London’s collection of handprints of the stars.

The Square is the focal point of nine side streets creating the ideal meeting point in the West End. An ideal meeting point is also an ideal place to stay as a visitor to London, as seen by the successful opening of the W Hotel at the north west corner of the Square.

Leicester Square is currently undergoing a major refurbishment programme around the garden square that will significantly enhance the built environment and public realm. It is anticipated that the new look square will not only maintain its position as the UK home of cinema but expand this to attract further high end restaurants and hotels.

At the heart of this vibrant city...

Leicester Square is exceptionally well connected by London’s public transport system. Within a short walk of the site are Underground Stations at Leicester Square (Northern & Piccadilly lines), (Piccadilly & Bakerloo lines), Charing Cross (Northern & Bakerloo lines) and (Northern & Central lines).

When it opens in 2017, Crossrail will be accessible from Tottenham Court Road station which will make it possible to travel across London and to surrounding areas in record time. Heathrow will be directly accessible in under 30 minutes.

The location is also extremely well served by buses and taxis.

Elephant & Castle THE FUTURE OF LEICESTER SQUARE

A redesign of Leicester Square to regenerate it in line with its international status and reputation commenced at the end of 2010. The £15 million project will transform the Square into a destination address designed for people to enjoy the West End’s principal meeting point.

Included within the scheme is improved seating, high quality public art and imaginative lighting all aimed at encouraging people to spend time in the Square. The refurbishment will also maintain the intrinsic English landscape qualities of the gardens at the centre of the Square.

It is anticipated that the reinvention of the Square as a destination address will attract significant investment from a number of high profile retailers and hoteliers as witnessed by the success of the W Hotel. Michael Wale, senior vice president of Starwood, compared the launch of the W Hotel Leicester Square with that of the W Hotel Times Square, New York City, in 2001:

“At that point it was at the same stage as Leicester Square and we were one of the anchor projects to accelerate its regeneration”.
