London has so many tourist attractions travellers might struggle to tick off everything on one trip. However, they might want to avoid a couple of \u201cchaotic\u201d spots.<\/p>\n
Around 30 million tourists visit London every year and a few of the capital\u2019s top tourist attractions tend to get a little crowded.<\/p>\n
According to one survey, Buckingham Palace is the most crowded tourist attraction in England with some tourists describing their trip as \u201cchaotic\u201d.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the only spot in the Big Smoke that\u2019s suffering from overtourism. According to Tripadvisor reviews, Piccadilly Circus is too \u201covercrowded\u201d for some tourists.<\/p>\n
A tourist from the USA \u2018Evlengr\u2019 wrote on Tripadvisor: \u201cDirty and overcrowded. Not how it was six years ago on my last visit. People have become very rude!\u201d<\/p>\n

I was walking through London and had a couple of hours to kill and stumbled through Piccadilly Circus.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be honest, it’s full of traffic, full of people and not really a lot to see. Always think of iconic London landmarks but in reality most are better off staying in your head.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Amanda C\u2019 wrote: \u201cVery touristy. We walked through a couple of times. It\u2019s very similar to Times Square and just as touristy. Good to see once maybe, but I wouldn\u2019t go back.\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

More info<\/p>\n A few tourists posted tongue-in-cheek negative reviews, expressing their disappointment that there wasn\u2019t actually a circus at Piccadilly Circus. The famous road junction actually takes its name from the Latin word for circle.<\/p>\n A major hub, Piccadilly Circus connects Picadilly, Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and the Haymarket. It\u2019s famous for its projected neon signs.<\/p>\n Tourists will also find some of London\u2019s top shopping destinations in the area, including Lillywhites sporting goods and the Fortnum & Mason department store.<\/p>\n Not everyone was disappointed by Piccadilly Circus and one tourist said they thought the hub represented \u201cthe soul of London\u201d.<\/p>\n Tourists looking to get off the beaten track could check out one of London\u2019s hidden gems, including a free Roman Amphitheatre that even most Londoners don\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the UK that\u2019s struggling to cope with overtourism. The world\u2019s most beautiful village is extremely crowded and Barcelona\u2019s top attractions are also teeming with tourists.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/25\/590x\/secondary\/TRAVEL-Piccadilly-Circus-4942203.jpg?r=1693825002110\")
