London, England travel: Piccadilly Circus and surrounding area

Piccadilly Circus and surrounding area. "Piccadilly Circus is a famous traffic intersection and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster . Built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly (the "circus" refers to "circular open space at a street junction"), it now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square) and Glasshouse Street." - Wikipedeia. More than a day trip from Thornbury Castle, and certainly worth the travel! (You can view this video, and other travel videos in full-size and near-DVD quality, travel stills and more at www.jpmeyer.com). Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, "a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own" according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!

That is the Olympics it is DIFFERENT.

The England, Wales, Scotland Northern Ireland divide exists.

Yes, the country IS called United Kingdom but the reason why we have UNITED is because England Scotland Wales and NI are UNITED to be called United Kingdom together.

But we are separate countries also. Like in the EURO for football. There is a Welsh, NI, Scotland and England team.
