Elle est célèbre pour sa fontaine qui fut installée à la fin du 19ème siècle et pour ses enseignes lumineuses qui l'ont transformée en une version miniature de Times Square. La place fut créée par John Nash dans le cadre du plan du futur Roi King George IV afin de relier Carlton House - où le Prince Régent résidait - à Regent's Park. La création de Shaftesbury Avenue en 1885 a transformé la place en un carrefour très fréquenté. Ceci rendit Piccadilly Circus plus attractif pour les annonceurs, qui y installèrent les premières enseignes lumineuses de Londres en 1895. Pendant un certain temps, la place fut entourée de ce type de panneaux publicitaires, créant ainsi une version Londonienne de Times Square, mais à présent, seul un bâtiment comporte encore de grandes enseignes, principalement électroniques.
