I don't think I've ever sought out Piccadilly Circus during my trips to London. I was thinking about something nearer the British Museum. Maybe I'm confused. I'm sort of a wanderer rather than a visitor.
Well it's not too far from the British Museum.
Perhaps you're thinking of the crossroads where Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road, and New Oxford Street join...

Ladies man.

I think you're right. I never felt compelled to see Picadilly Circus, but the Rosetta Stone drew me like a magnet. Met a cute girl at a nearby pub, too.
Maybe I should make a return trip this year. I have a fat tax refund burning a hole in my pocket.

I just show them photos like this one that I helped acquire and they're celestial putty in my spiral arms.

Ever seen any black holes or white dwarfs?

Been there, done them.
Good stuff. I can just about see my flat in no. 11/19.
Go up on the London Eye on a clear day, and at night too, if you haven't already done so. In fact, hold the start of the BSG meet on the Eye, it's only a 10 min walk from Anchor Bankside.
Your mate must have a massive f**king ladder, DaButt.

More like 30 at the speed most people walk.

It's due to his short legs and stumpy penis.
In the summer of 2007 I took this from the very top of St. Paul's Cathedral.

How did you do that?
Scha-wing!
What a disturbing waste of energy though, no matter how good it looks.
Puts it into perspective when seen from the air.

I used a camera. Went all the way round the tiny viewing platform right at the top of the cathedral, balancing the camera on the handrail and taking loads of pictures all the way round. Then stitched them together using software.
This free PC program from Microsoft works really well at automatically stitching photos together.
