Description: | This photograph shows Piccadilly Circus in the early 20th Century. At around the time this picture was taken, this area was undergoing large-scale construction work. Shaftsbury Avenue (seen here on the left) was built in the 1880s. The Shaftsbury Memorial Fountain (topped by the statue commonly known as Eros and seen here in the foreground) was added in the early 1890s. The area is at the centre of the West End's "Theatreland", with one of the theatres, the London Pavilion, visible in the centre of the picture. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Environment Leisure Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | c1900 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
