    The sort of wine bar/restaurant you never want to leave, this place has two separate floors depending on whether you fancy something bustling or more chilled.

  • Japan Centre

    Once upon a time, the Japan Centre was just a small bookshop and café in Piccadilly Circus. However, recently it has seen some major expansions, and now has a number of different sites throughout London. Visit Japan Centre Panton Street just around the corner from Leicester Square to eat at its fantastic food court where you can sample a variety of Japanese delicacies. Then have a look around the shop to purchase some tasty snacks or ingredients to make your own dishes at home.
