Leicester Square Garden
Relax and unwind in the garden, and gaze at the activity going on all around, while listening to the buskers, street entertainers and preachers performing in the area. At the centre of the square is a fountain with a statue honouring William Shakespeare, and the benches that surround the fountain are dotted with other fun statues—you can take your picture sitting next to Mr. Bean, or standing with Charlie Chaplin.

Prince Charles Cinema
The cheapest and in some ways most interesting cinema in the area. They screen the latest films, and also have an interesting selection of foreign and art house films. They often have theme nights. Get hold of the program at the door or on the internet and consider buying the discount-granting yearly membership if you plan to come back a few times.
New release: M-F matinees £5-9; evenings, weekends, bank holidays £9.50-12; repertory: £6-10

The Lego Store
The world's largest Lego Store, with a massive Big Ben (yes, they mean the clock tower and not the actual bell -- feel free to tut loudly) sculpture made of building blocks, a Tube entrance arc, and a full scale Tube carriage model -- including Lego figures you can take a picture with!
