The lights and Eros. A junction, not an hour-long stop. Next is Regent Street — do not also stack the London Eye the same day.
Analysis
Split the exterior of Piccadilly Circus from the interior. The circus is there all day. Security queues start outside the door; wear flats. On a day the exterior is free, do not buy the interior just for a photo. Leave via Piccadilly Circus.
Best time
The lights read after dark
