TKTS 360 (1) - 13 April 2018

I have indulged myself with a 360° tour of the TKTS Booth in London's Leicester Square because I like the building and because the backgrounds in an ever changing city are of interest. TKTS has stood on the south side of Leicester Square since 1992. Its predecessor, a smaller hut, was on the west side and opened in 1980 as 'The Half Price Ticket Booth'. The TKTS name was adopted in 2001 emulating the Broadway/Times Square equivalent.

In this view, towards the east side of Leicester Square, the Odeon is on the left. It was closed for refurbishment. To the right, the TGI Fridays, which was once a large Chinese buffet restaurant, is below the offices of Global a media company which includes Capital Radio whose name once appeared more prominently on the building.
