Tourists are distraught that Piccadilly Circus is not a real circus
Although Piccadilly Circus has an overall good score on the review site Tripadvisor of 4.1 out of 5, there is a handful of ‘terrible’ reviews.
Many share the same thought of how they are upset that the area offers no clown, circus or even a big top.
As one Tripadvisor reviewer wrote, how they were left ‘very disappointed’ writing: “Not a Circus.
“Didn’t see 1 juggler or any clowns.
“Billy Smart will be turning in his grave.
“Stood looking up for a trapeze artist, but no joy.”
Others simply said how they were upset it was “not actually a circus…. No tent…. No circus… no clowns… no popcorn… no big top…… no sign of a circus except the sign that said circus.”
One user even told other visitors not to “Fall for the trap”, writing: “All in all, myself and my family were left a little deflated.
“After spending £40 on petrol, we couldn’t wait to see what the circus had to offer…..or didn’t.
“The tightrope walker never turned up, there were no lion,s and we struggled to make out the juggler.
